Ingredients
For the Louisiana Wingstop rub
- 1 tbsp granulated brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or regular
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp fine salt or sea salt flakes optional add-in
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper optional add-in
For the chicken wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings bone still in
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- To start, you can combine all of the Louisiana rub ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients well so the flavors are evenly distributed.
- You can leave out the salt and pepper if you'd like, or adjust the quantity in this recipe to your liking.
- When the rub is finished, you can proceed with making the chicken wings. First, preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- Use a paper towel to pat the chicken wings dry. Place them in a clean large mixing bowl.
- Then, cover the wings with olive oil. You only want enough to coat them. They shouldn't be dredged in oil or the spice rub won't stick.
- Next, add the spice rub (one whole recipe we just made above) and rub it over the wings. Massage the chicken as you coat them in spices. This helps tenderize them.
- Finally, add the wings to a lined baking tray in a single layer. Leave the wings to cook for roughly 35-45minutes.
