Instructions
Creating Perfectly Crispy Dry Rub Chicken Wings is simple once you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. This helps to keep the wings crispy.
2. Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is critical to getting that wonderful crispiness.
3. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and all the dry rub ingredients. Add the chicken wings to the bowl, tossing well to coat them evenly with the mixture.
4. Arrange on the Rack: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
6. Check for Crispiness: After 40 minutes, check the wings for crispiness. If they’re not as crispy as you’d like, broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
7. Serve Hot: Once done, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
These steps will get you beautifully crispy wings that are packed with flavor and sure to become a favorite!
