Just wondering what is everyone’s favorite chicken wing rub? Wanting to try some different rubs. Or methods. Anybody wet or dry brine or add sauce? I like them either way but lean towards just rub & no sauce.
 
I use Fiesta Brand Chicken Rub and SuckleBuster's Clucker Dust in about a 50/50 ratio. I'll usually dry brine them with this and some kosher salt overnight. A couple days ago I experimented with soaking in buttermilk and also pickle juice. I'd say all of the above are worth a shot!
 
Any of y'all use these rubs and sauce? I love sauce on everything, but would love to have a rub that would add a little something extra.
 
I just did a batch that was a light dusting of Oakridge SPOGOS, then light layers of Competition and Secret Weapon. They came out great!

I need to get some of their Habanero Death Dust to combine as other have done.
 
I like wings any way shape or form but especially like them with Lefty's Spices LLC. It's really made for use as an oven cook but work really well in Weber with the Vortex. You can buy it on Amazon.
 
Salt only. Skin dried in the fridge overnight. Then add whatever rub/dust or sauce to glaze after.

I brine chicken legs in buttermilk and hot sauce. That would work for wings too.
 
Depends on what I want


I like Dizzy Pigs Peruvianish chicken rub.



I've also been known to glaze with Texas Rib candy or make my own buffalo sauce, but often just eat them with a dry rub.




Kosmos Dirty Bird is another go to
 
I did a lot of wings over football season, trying different combinations. The rub I liked the most was Jack Stack AP rub, then after grilling, tossing them in either Kosmo's wing dust or Frank's buffalo sauce.

Simple, I know, but they are my favorite when I'm doing them at home.
 
My new favourite is jerk wings. I get this local made jerk rub/marinate from a jamaican family. It's a wet paste, I throw the wings in a large freezer bag with a couple spoonfuls of the jerk, toss it around and then on the grill (or even in the oven on a rack).
 
If a dry rub is your thing.....

I am liking Oakridge rubs for wings. My wife is a secret weapon only, but I am an HDD fan. A technique that I really like is after cooking the seasoned wings, I always sprinkle on more rub while they are hot and they get a great extra pop of flavor and slight texture. Although I enjoy buffalo sauce and not bbq sauce, I have switched to only the added rub for finishing my wings.
 
I've been doing the Kosmos stuff lately. I started with the Honey BBQ to support my daughter's preferences, and I have to say I was underwhelmed. I need to give it a little more volume next time to see if it comes through better.

Now the Seven Pepper Face lift, that stuff is the bomb for deep pepper flavor with a kick. Huge fan. I need to get it dialed in for the right amount of flavor/heat.
