US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients for the rub: smoked paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin powder, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt.
    1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Using a spoon or whisk, thoroughly mix all the spices and seasonings until they are well combined and evenly distributed.
  • If not using immediately, transfer the rub to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Store the rub in an airtight jar somewhere cool and dark, and it keeps its punch for up to three months.
  • Because of the brown sugar, the blend can clump; crush any lumps as you mix and seal it tight to keep it pourable.
  • Cayenne heat varies jar to jar, so taste a pinch in a little oil before committing a full batch to wings.
  • If you cook the wings yourself, bring the chicken to 165°F (74°C) before serving.
