Dry Rubbed Baked Chicken Wings + Blue Cheese Ranch
BEST dry rub recipe for wings that get baked in the oven! No frying mess, delicious blue cheese ranch dip, best football snack EVER.
Ingredients
WINGS
- 12 chicken wing portions
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon hot paprika or more if you like heat!
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
BLUE CHEESE RANCH
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- WINGS: Preheat the oven to 250F. Combine all of the spices and the baking powder. Pour the spice mixture all over the wings in a bowl, and stir to coat the wings evenly.
- Arrange a baking rack inside of a baking sheet. Place the wings in one layer on the baking rack, skin side up. Bake the wings for 45 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the oven and increase the oven heat to 425F. Use tongs to flip the wings to skin side DOWN, then return them to the oven for 20 minutes (it's ok at this point if the oven isn't all the way to 425F).
- Remove the wings from the oven, flip them back to skin side up, and bake again for 20-30 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
- Serve with raw veggies and blue cheese ranch.
- BLUE CHEESE RANCH: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Taste, and add a few more pinches of seasoned salt or kosher salt if needed. If you'd like a stronger blue cheese flavor, add more crumbles!
Notes
If you don't like blue cheese, leave out the crumbles to make regular ranch, or add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill to make dill ranch.
This recipe is fairly small, but can be easily multiplied - just don't crowd the wings on cooking racks. You may have to increase the cooking time if you do 2 racks at once, or bake wings in a few batches.
Kosher salt may be used in place of the seasoned salt.
