NOTES:
-
- Pat drying the chicken wings is crucial in this recipe, so don’t skip it.
- When applying the dry rub on the wings, be generous. It is better to use your hands when doing this.
- If you have time, let the dry rubbed chicken wings rest in the fridge for 30 minutes or 1 hour. This will help the rub penetrate the wings.
- Make sure the wings are placed in a single layer.
- Measure the chicken wings with a meat thermometer if you want. They need to reach an internal temperature of 165 F degrees.
- You can cook these dry rub wings in the oven or in air fryer.
- If you are planning to use frozen chicken wings, thaw them overnight in the fridge and then follow the recipe.
