Dry-Rubbed Baked Chicken Wings
These easy-to-make, crispy chicken wings will have you thinking that they were fried instead of baked in the oven! The flavourful dry-rub seasoning is sure to tantalize your taste-buds.
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs 1kg fresh chicken wings, split
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1.5 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 tsp onion powder
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Generously coat an oven-safe cooling rack with cooking spray and place on top of the lined baking sheet. Set aside.
- Rinse the wings in cold water, then dry with a paper towel to get rid of any excess liquid.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the oil.
- In a small bowl mix together all the spices. Sprinkle on wings, using your hands to make sure everything is rubbed in evenly. Place on prepared baking rack and tray.
- Bake the wings on the middle rack of the oven for about 40-50 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
If you purchased your wings whole, cut them by separating the drummette from the flat wingette and get rid of the tips.
If you have extra time, you can always marinade the wings in the rub the night before, and refrigerate covered until ready to use.
