The Listening Room Cafe's Dry Rub Chicken Wings
1 ¾ c white sugar
1 ¾ c paprika
½ c chili powder
½ c black pepper
½ c salt
¼ c cumin
⅓ c onion powder
⅓ c garlic powder
Party Pack of chicken wings (allow 2-3 wings per person)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Once combined, pass mixture through mesh sieve several times to ensure spices have no lumps and are well combined.
Toss chicken wings in a small amount of the dry rub, adding until wings are coated. (This recipe makes 6 ½ cups, use only enough to coat your wings and save the rest to use later!),
At The Listening Room Cafe, wings are cooked in a smoker for 1 hour, then cooled in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Flash fry wings for several minutes in hot oil, then serve immediately.
At home, bake wings for 45-60 minutes in a 350 degree oven (follow directions on the Party Pack) then broil on high for 10 minutes on each side.
