The secret to turning game day into a restaurant experience is by having great food. And not only should your spread have delicious dips and salsas, but wings are an absolute requirement.
And to make a good wing, you need a good rub. These barbecue chicken wings are dry rubbed with common pantry seasonings like chili powder, onion flakes, garlic flakes and sweet paprika. But before adding the dry rub, you must first marinate the wings in hot sauce and butter, you know, for extra kick.
These wings are sure to be a crowd pleaser at game days, backyard barbecues and more. But if you're looking for some a little more kid-friendly, we have plenty of easy chicken recipes perfect for summer.
