Why you need this homemade chicken rub

Baked chicken wings are utterly delicious, but if you rely only on buffalo or ranch sauce to make them taste good, you’re making a mistake! Give extra flavor to your wings by infusing the meat with a dry rub before baking. Let sit the seasoned wings for half an hour, and you’ll notice the difference! Chicken wings don’t have a lot of meat, so the fragrance of spices penetrates pretty quickly and gives a beautiful punch of flavor to your favorite snack or appetizer!
