Dry Rub Chicken Wings

Enjoy crispy and flavorful chicken wings with a smoky, sweet dry rub. Perfect for any occasion!

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until well coated with the spice blend.
  4. For oven baking, place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through. For air frying, place the wings in the air fryer basket and cook for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  5. Serve the chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For extra crispiness, make sure the wings are dry before applying the rub. Mix the spice blend in advance for convenience.
