Chicken Wing Seasoning | Greedy Gourmet

Question 1

What is in chicken wing seasoning?

Accepted Answer

It's a luscious blend of select herbs and spices, each playing a part in creating a delicious, harmonious flavor that elevates the taste of chicken wings to a whole new level.

Chicken wing seasoning typically consists of herbs like oregano and thyme, spices like paprika and cayenne pepper, and other ingredients such as garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.

Question 2

How do you use chicken wing seasoning?

Accepted Answer

Lightly oil your chicken wings, then sprinkle the seasoning blend over them. Make sure to coat all sides evenly. For the best flavor penetration, you can also rub the seasoning into the wings by hand.

Question 3

How long should you leave the spice mix to marinate?

Accepted Answer

Letting the seasoned wings sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator) before you bake chicken wings will enhance their flavor.

Question 4

Can you cook dry rub wings in an air fryer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Cooking chicken wings in an air fryer means you don't have to use olive oil, and they offer a healthier alternative to standard baked chicken wings.

Question 5

Can this chicken wing seasoning recipe be scaled?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Make as much as you want! You can double, triple or quadruple the recipe to meet your needs. As spice blends store well, store your chicken wing seasoning in a large airtight container and use it on everything from chicken wings to chicken thighs, breasts and pretty much any cut of meat you like.

Question 6

How do you make dry rub stick to chicken wings?

Accepted Answer

You can rub olive oil over the skin of the chicken wings. This will help the dry rub to stick to the outside of the wings. Alternatively, spray olive oil before massaging the seasoning onto the chicken wings.

Question 7

Can I make this seasoning mix spicier?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Feel free to experiment with spices to add extra heat to your spice blend. Add chili powder or hot paprika to add a little sizzle.

Question 8

Is this recipe gluten free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Chicken wing seasoning is a dry rub that doesn't use any ingredients that contain gluten

Question 9

How do you store chicken wing seasoning?

Accepted Answer

Once you've mixed up your chicken wing seasoning, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. You could also use dedicated spice jars to store your spice blends—see the equipment section above for my recommendation on storage jars for spices.

This chicken wing seasoning blend can be stored for up to three months without losing flavor or fragrance.

Question 10

What are the best dips to use with seasoned chicken wings?

Accepted Answer

Make your delicious wings all the more marvelous with a dressing or dip on the side. Go for a blue cheese dressing for a big punch of flavor. You could also use Alabama white sauce, a classic mayonnaise-based BBQ sauce that goes perfectly well with smoky meats.

A simple Adobo sauce would also go down a treat.
