Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Steps

  1. 1

    Combine all of the dry rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Mix well and store until ready to use.

  2. 2

    When you’re ready to cook your chicken wings, pat the wings dry with paper towels. Get them as dry as you can for crispier wings.

  3. 3

    Toss the wings with oil in a large bowl, then generously coat the wings with the dry rub with even coverage. Cover and refrigerate.

  4. 4

    Rest the wings for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more maximum flavor development.

  5. 5

    Bake at 250 degrees F (120°C ) on a baking sheet for 30 minutes, flip and bake at 425 degrees F (220°C ) for another 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Air fry at 250 degrees F (120°C ) for 15 minutes, then flip and air fry at 400 degrees F (200°C) another 15-20 minutes, shaking occasionally.

  7. 7

    Grill over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes.
