Notes
- You will need about 4-5 teaspoons of the dry rub for 2-2 ½ lbs of chicken wings. Adjust this amount as required; the wings should be lightly coated, not crumbed.
- Spiciness: Use the amounts of cayenne pepper and red chili flakes to taste. Start with a pinch of cayenne and about ¼ teaspoon chili (or red pepper flakes), and add more if you like things really spicy.
- Crispy chicken wings: To make the wings super crispy, pat the wings dry with paper towels. Mix 4-5 teaspoons of the dry rub with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and coat the wings with the mixture. Bake, grill, or air fry the wings according to your recipe.
- Store the dry rub for chicken wings in an airtight container in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. If stored properly, the rub will be good for several months. However, you should always check the freshness before using it.
