Servings: 0.75 cups
Cost: $4.00
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons coarse black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic (if using garlic powder reduce it to 1 teaspoon)
- 1 ½ teaspoons celery salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional: for some heat)
- 1 tablespoon corn starch (Optional: if grilling or smoking, see notes)
Instructions
- Combine: Combine all seasonings in a small bowl and stir to combine. Store in a mason jar in a cool dark cupboard to prevent clumping.
- Apply: Plan 1 1/2 tablespoons of dry rub per pound of chicken wings used. If grilling wings you can add corn starch to help with a crispy texture mimicking deep-fried wings. Be sure the wings are dried before seasoning.
Notes
Note on Corn starch: If using this dry rub for grilling or smoking, you will want to add corn starch to the rub mix.
The ratio is 1 teaspoon of corn starch for every 2 tablespoons of dry rub. You still get the spicy flavors and won't taste the corn starch. It is an important step if you are baking, smoking, or grilling wings to get a nice crispy exterior.
