Ingredients for Dry Rub Wings
Chicken – To save time, purchase fresh split chicken wings that are already split into flats and drums (with the wing tips discarded). If you have whole chicken wings, they should be split by cutting them apart at the joints. Dry Rub – Pull out a few seasonings from the spice cabinet for this uniquely delicious spice blend! Add more or less chili powder or cayenne to suit your heat preference. A sugar-free substitute for brown sugar can be used as well.
Variations
Add your own favorite seasonings or spices. This blend is great on baked chicken thighs or breasts as well.

Keeping Chicken Wings Crispy
For best results, patting the wings dry before seasoning is an important step to ensuring the oil and dry rub evenly and thoroughly coat the wings. This helps remove excess moisture so the skin stays extra crispy. Placing wings in a single layer with space between them in the Air Fryer ensures the hot air will circulate all around them, cooking them evenly. This same method applies to wings baked on a rack instead of directly on a baking sheet. Store leftover dry rub chicken wings in a covered container for up to 4 days and reheat them in a preheated Air Fryer or under the broiler.
