Spicy Blackened Dry Rub Chicken Wings

Servings: 2

Equipment

  • airfryer
  • OR baking sheet + oven safe cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 15 chicken drummettes about 2.25 pounds
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp dry mustard
  • ¼ c coconut sugar can be subbed for brown sugar
  • cooking spray as needed

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together all seasonings, spices, and sugar. Set aside.
  • Add 1/2 chicken drummettes to a gallon ziplock bag with 1/2 the seasoning mix and shake to thoroughly coat. Repeat with the remainder of wings and seasoning.

Airfryer Method

  • Preheat airfryer to 400° while prepping wings.
  • Spray basket with cooking spray and arrange seasoned wings on basket so that they have just the slightest bit of space between them.*
  • Cook for 16 minutes, flipping halfway through. It's okay if spices blacken a bit.
  • Remove from airfryer and enjoy!

Oven Method

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place oven safe cooling rack on top. Spray cooling rack with cooking spray.
  • Arrange wings on cooling rack so they have just the slightest bit of space between them.*
  • Cook for 45 minutes (or an internal temp of 165°), flipping halfway through. It's okay if spices blacken a bit.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Notes

*The space allows for airflow between the wings, making them crispy.
I can fit about 15 drummettes in my airfryer basket, with some touching, and that's okay! If you have a smaller air fryer, you may have to do this in batches. If so, set your oven to its lowest temp to serve as a warming drawer for the cooked wings while the others cook.
