Joe Montana’s Dry Rub Wings

I don’t know if these really are Joe Montana‘s dry rub wings. Maybe they are. I’m a long time Dallas Cowboy’s fan so it sorta bothers me to say that these are mighty darned good wings.

And as much as I do like wings covered in sauce, I’m just as big of a fan of dry wings. Over-the-top sauces can bury the flavors from the chicken and the seasonings. So, if you can’t taste the chicken, what’s the point of cooking wings to start with?

Joe Montana's Dry Rub Wings

Simple, Yet Delicious!

There’s nothing but flavor from Joe Montana’s dry rub wings. Overall simple flavors. Likewise no spiciness (add a good pinch of cayenne if you want some heat). No sweetness (add some brown sugar or honey powder if you prefer a sweeter wing). Just great flavor that anyone will love.

These wings are dry marinated in the rub just before cooking. After they are done, the wings are tossed in a little more rub. You get the rub in every bite.

I like to make my spice, rub and seasoning mixes in big batches and keep them in large bottles with easy-to-pour shaker lids.

Also try some delicious 5 salt 5 pepper air fryer wings!
