Dry Rub Recipes for Wings

Chicken Wing Seasoning Ingredients:

Wondering what the secret ingredient is? It is a baking powder that alters the pH level of chicken and gives it a nice crunch. Besides baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper are the star ingredients that make this wing rub unique in flavor.

You can absolutely use this rub on other meat as well, but it really shines on chicken wings. Try making this at home. This flavor-packed dry rub will become your new favorite. Let’s know the ingredients of this super cool dry wing rub.

Baking Powder:

Baking powder is usually used in baking to have a bubbly texture. I used 2 tablespoons of aluminum-free baking powder here to make the coating of dry rub extra crispy.

Chili Powder:

Chili powder gives spice rub the needed heat and color. 1 teaspoon would be enough. Use more if you want spicier.

Smoked Paprika:

Smoked paprika gives the wings a nice smokiness that is found when grilled. Use 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika for our dry wings rub recipe.

Black Pepper:

Black pepper is an obvious ingredient in almost all sauces, rubs, and dressings. It gives our rub for wings the needed heat and a nice zing. Use 1 teaspoon in the recipe. 

Garlic Powder:

Garlic powder makes dry rub a little pungent and complements other flavors. Use 1 teaspoon to make your wings extra flavorful.

Sea Salt:

Sea salt gives rubs and seasonings a nice texture. The spices provide flavor, but it needs to be intensified with salt. Use 1 teaspoon or more if you prefer.

Oregano:

Oregano has a spicy and pungent flavor that creates a dramatic effect in our dry rub. I used ½ teaspoon in the recipe.

Coconut  Sugar:

Coconut sugar has a strong caramel-like flavor and is healthier than refined white sugar.1 teaspoon of coconut sugar balances out the spicy flavors.

Cumin:

Cumin gives warmth to our seasoning for wings. 1 teaspoon of cumin adds a nice dash to the taste. 

Dried Parsley:

Dried parsley is slightly sweet and contains a wide range of vitamins. I used ½ teaspoon of dried parsley in our dry rub.
