Notes
- Use high smoke point oil to ensure the chicken wings get crispy without burning, we recommend using a high smoke point oil such as vegetable or grapeseed oil.
- When seasoning the chicken wings, make sure they are completely pat dry with a paper towel to ensure everything sticks properly.
- The Louisiana rub can be adjusted to your own personal preference. You can add more or less of the spices depending on how spicy, smoky, etc you want them.
- The chicken wings are cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 165F.
- To make the chicken wings extra crispy, broil them for a few minutes after they are cooked through.
- Make a large batch of dry rub seasoning and store it in an airtight container or jar for up to 6 months. It's also great as a gift, especially for the host at a Superbowl party!
- Serve these wings along with some Wingstop Ranch for dipping.
- Having a party? Serve these wings with Air Fryer Hot Dogs, Texas Roadhouse Seasoned Rice, and some Air Fryer Baby Potatoes.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you are serving a large gathering.
- For a sweeter version of the wing rub, add in some extra brown sugar. You could also try using different types of chili powder for added heat and flavor.
- If you don't have smoked paprika on hand, regular paprika can be substituted.
- This recipe also works great as a dry rub for chicken thighs or chicken breasts.
