This dry rub seasoning has been such a game-changer. It’s been my go-to seasoning for chicken.
It takes plain chicken and gives it a burst of flavor! This dry rub makes prep time so much easier, instead of grabbing all the seasonings one by one. You’ll have it already made.
Can’t agree on seasoning or don’t know what to do? You will always have your handy chicken dry rub seasoning in the pantry to fall back on.
I enjoy making my own seasonings and dressings. I’ve also made Homemade Ranch Seasoning and Homemade Teriyaki Sauce.

FAQs

Yes, you can still eat chicken wings on a keto diet as long as the spice blend doesn’t contain sugar or lots of fillers that have carbs. The chicken wings themselves are naturally keto.
Do dry rub wings have carbs?
Depending on the dry rub being used, wings can contain up to 12-15g of carbs per serving.
How do you get the rub to stick to wings?
If you are having trouble getting the dry rub to stick to your chicken wings, you can use some avocado oil to help. This kind of creates a “paste” that you can coat your wings in.

Should I oil the wings before seasoning?
You don’t necessarily need to oil your wings before seasoning them. If you’re trying to increase the fat content of your diet or if you have trouble getting the dry rub to stick you can add some oil.
