These crispy keto-friendly BBQ dry rub chicken wings deliver bold smoky flavor and a crunchy texture without the extra carbs, perfect for low-carb and keto diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir well.
  4. Add the wings to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well to coat every piece thoroughly with the dry rub mixture.
  5. Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, spaced apart to allow air circulation.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through (around 20 minutes) for even cooking. The skin should be golden brown and crispy.
  7. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) or by cutting into a wing to see clear juices and opaque meat.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the crust to set and juices to redistribute.

Notes

Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid off-flavors. Pat wings very dry before applying the rub for maximum crispiness. Flip wings halfway through baking for even browning. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to avoid burning. Wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a 375°F oven on a wire rack for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness.
