Dry Rub Wings

Grilled chicken wings is one of those recipes that I believe I have perfected over time.  The crispy skin and tender, fall off the bone meat is the ultimate grillin snack. With 3 simple ingredients, this Dry Rub Wing recipe is a great way to get started on mastering deliciously flavorful wings.

If you prefer dry rub wings over saucy, you must try my grilled maple bourbon wings. It’s the perfect combo of sweet and savoriness all in one bite!

Ingredient list for Dry Rub Wings.

• Chicken wings: I used party wings for this recipe. They are already pre-sliced and convenient.
• Olive oil: binder for the seasoning. The fast from the oil helps the skin crisp up.
• Seasoning: for a standard dry rub, I recommend going with an all purpose rub. Has the ideal balance of salt and peppery notes along with some paprika and garlic.

Step 1: Simple prep work.

I always go with fresh detached chicken wing pieces which helps with time management. To start,  coat the raw wing pieces in olive oil and season them with Dad’s All Purpose rub.  With a nice mild BBQ flavor and few black pepper flakes, it’s the perfect poultry seasoning.  Make sure to get an even coat throughout.

Step 2: How to grill the perfect Dry Rub Wings.

Heat up the grill to 375 degrees and set it for indirect heat. Place the seasoned wings directly on the grates and let them cook for 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees.  Flip the wings half way through to ensure an even cook throughout. 

Take the grilled dry rub wings off the grill and let them rest by covering them with a sheet of foil. Serve and enjoy!

Dry Rub Wings

By: Maciek Zurawski

To keep it simple, this dry rub wing recipe is a great way to get you started on mastering deliciously flavorful wings.

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes minutes

Servings: 4 People

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 lbs Detached chicken wings
• ▢ 3 tbsp Dad's all purpose rub
• ▢ 2 tsp Olive oil

Instructions 

• Coat the raw chicken wing pieces in olive oil and season them with Dad's All Purpose rub. 
• Heat up the grill to 375 degrees and set it for indirect heat.
• Place the seasoned wings directly on the grates and let them cook for 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches180 degrees.  Flip the wings half way through to ensure an even cook throughout. 
• Remove off the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Notes

With a paper towel, pat the wings dry. Make sure to get all sides. Place the dry wings on a wire rack and in the fridge, preferably over night, but an hour will work as well. The cool air will further help dry out the skin.

Grilling wings to 175-185 degrees internally on high heat will not dry them out. Meat around the bone needs more time to cook for the fat to break down and get the meat tender.
