    Wing Wizardry

    6 Tips for Culinary Magic for Cooking Dry Rub Chicken Wings!

    1. Pat Dry Before Rubbing: Ensure the wings are thoroughly pat-dried with paper towels before applying the dry rub. This helps the rub adhere better.

    3. Room Temperature: Allow the chicken wings to come to room temperature before cooking. This promotes even cooking throughout.
    4. Baste with Oil: For extra crispiness, baste the wings with a light coat of oil before cooking. This also helps the dry rub adhere and enhances the overall texture.
    5. Use a Wire Rack: When baking, place the wings on a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This allows hot air to circulate around the wings, promoting crispiness.
    6. Let them Rest: Allow the wings to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps retain juices and ensures they are moist and flavorful.
