These grilled chicken wings are ultra-crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with bold flavor from a five-spice dry rub. Perfect for BBQs, family meals, or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ¾ tsp five-spice powder

  • ¾ tbsp ground cumin

  • ¾ tbsp ground coriander

  • 2 tsp kosher salt


Instructions

  • Mix all dry rub ingredients and oil in a bowl.
