For a recipe that's full of flavor but that couldn't be simpler, look no further than these chicken wings. Tossed with a flavorful dry rub and baked in the oven, the perfectly spiced wings become crispy. The recipe below is the obvious choice for any game-day party or quick and easy weeknight dinner.
The recipe makes slightly more dry rub than you will need for the wings. Consider mixing up an even bigger batch of rub to keep on hand to season other dishes. Sprinkle it on the skin of a broiler chicken, dredge the outside of a pork roast, or toss it with veggies before roasting. However you use it, it will add tons of flavor and a hint of spice.
