Dry Rub Chicken Wings

With a prep time of only 10 minutes, this dry rub recipe has everything you need to make your chicken wings tender, juicy, and mouthwatering. It’s so finger-lickin’ simple, you could even make a big batch and use it to season your meat throughout the week… making it easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy.

With the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, the flavor profile works well for all kinds of dishes, making it the ideal seasoning to experiment with. You can go sweeter or spicier depending on your preference, and since it’s a dry rub, there’s no need to wait for it to marinate. Mix the seasonings together, coat your protein, and enjoy.

Are Dry Rub Chicken Wings Healthy?

This recipe is low-carb and high-protein. Chicken is a lean meat, packing in a lot of nutrients without much fat. This all-American classic can be as healthy as it is tasty, especially when made with love (and local ingredients).

Alternatively – for a vegetarian option, try baking cauliflower instead of chicken; whichever you choose, this dry rub is to-live-for!

The Secret for Extra-Crispy Wings

If you’re craving that satisfying crunch from the first bite to the last, consider cooking the wings in an air fryer instead of the oven. Additionally, you could try tossing the chicken wings in a mixture made from a teaspoon each of salt and baking powder before cooking to make them extra crispy.

FAQs & Tips

How to Make Ahead and Store?

The great thing about this recipe is that you can toss the wings in a dry rub, leave them in the fridge in a well-sealed container overnight, and bake the next day.
On the other hand, leftovers that are already cooked will last in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until the skin is lightly sizzling. Make sure to flip them occasionally when reheating.

Bake evenly

Cook the chicken wings on a cooling rack over a pan to let the air flow underneath and ensure the whole surface area is cooked to perfection.

Dip Deeply

Make a variety of dips to dunk your wings in. Some classic choices are ranch, barbecue, and buffalo… but you can get creative and make a new dip that satisfies your cravings.

Serving Suggestions

For dipping sauces, I’d recommend trying this easy honey mustard dipping sauce. For something spicier, try buffalo cauliflower dip, and give a new twist to an old classic.

Aside from dips, apple coleslaw makes a bright side dish for these wings, adding a fresh tang to the flavor mosaic.
