Buffalo Chicken Dry Rub

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Servings: 20
Author: Jamie N, Registered Dietitian

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1.5 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper more or less to taste
  • 1-2 tsp powdered vinegar optional

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl or directly in a small airtight glass container. Feel free to adjust the amounts to meet your preferences!

To use for buffalo wings

  • Start by patting your chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
  • Lightly coat with oil or melted butter (for max buffalo flavor!).
  • Season generously with spice blend (use as much or as little as you prefer).
  • Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
  • Bake for 25-40 minutes until cooked through and crispy. Chicken should read at least 165 degrees with a meat thermometer. Cooking time will vary based on how big your wings are and how many you're making.

Notes

You can use before cooking or sprinkle after cooking.
For a more classic "rub" flavor, add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar for sweetness.
