Why settle for all-you-can-eat (and some you literally can’t eat) chicken wings (we’re looking at you “neighborhood grill and bar”) when you can make the absolute best crispy, dry-rubbed and oven-baked chicken wings right at home?

With this recipe, all it takes is some super dry chicken wings (we’re not talking about the end result here), some chill time ( we’re not talking about “Netflix and chill” time, though you could definitely use it to pass some time 😜) and some homemade dry rub – no breading or frying here!

Now round up your ingredients, grab your F.N. Sharp chef’s knife if separating those wings yourself, get that cutting board ready and let’s make some crispy, dry-rubbed and oven-baked chicken wings!

Note: The key is to get the wings SUPER dry! Pat the wings dry using paper towels, then use fresh paper towels to dry again and until they’re dry as can be. Set the wings on a wire rack set in a baking sheet and let them hang out uncovered in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight (overnight preferred).
