Ingredients:

  • 60g honey powder
  • 15g smoked paprika
  • 8g garlic powder
  • 8g onion powder
  • 3g cayenne pepper
  • 6g kosher salt
  • 2g cracked black pepper
  • 3 lbs chicken wings
  • 30ml avocado oil

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken wings thoroughly with heavy-duty paper towels until the skin is completely matte and dry.
  2. Place wings in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with avocado oil, tossing until every wing is lightly coated.
  3. Combine honey powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create the dry rub.
  4. Sprinkle the dry rub over the wings in three separate stages, tossing after each addition until the coating is thick and opaque.
  5. Arrange the seasoned wings on a wire cooling rack set over a rimmed baking sheet for maximum airflow.
  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35–40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time.
  7. Remove from oven once the wings reach a deep mahogany color and the sugars are visibly bubbling on the skin.
