Chicken Wings (Dry-Rubbed Baked)
Ingredients
Scaled from 4 4 servings (approx. 4 wings per serving)
- ½ Tbsp ancho chile pepper
- ½ Tbsp smoked paprika
- ½ Tbsp onion powder
- ½ Tbsp kosher salt
- ¾ Tbsp light brown sugar, packed
- ¾ tsp chili powder
- ¾ tsp paprika
- ¾ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (less if you're worried about the heat level)
- ½ tsp dried mustard powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp dried ground thyme
- 4 lbs chicken wings, thawed completely if using a frozen bag
- 2 Tbsp vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
-
Line a large baking sheet with 2 sheets of aluminum foil (or 1 heavy duty sheet). Top that with an oven safe cooling rack and spray it with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
-
Combine all dry rub ingredients in a small mixing bowl, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add chicken wings and vegetable oil. Use a rubber spatula to toss gently to coat.
-
Sprinkle in about half to 2/3 of the dry rub mixture and use your hands to massage it into all of the chicken wings, coating evenly. Feel free to use all the dry rub, but for a coating like in the photos, 1/2-2/3 of the mixture does just fine.
-
Preheat air fryer to 400 F degrees. Spritz with oil and add chicken wings to air fryer for 15 minutes.
