The smoky heat of chipotle peppers is absolutely fantastic on chicken wings. Instead of tossing my wings in a sauce I served them up ‘dry’, just coated in a delicious spicy rub where chipotle was the star, but there’s also hints of onion and garlic. Smoky chipotle dry wings will change your mind about always eating ‘wet’ wings.

I served these smoky chipotle dry wings with just a bit of Ranch dressing, but these wings are just perfect by themselves without a dipping sauce.
I recommend making extra of the seasoning. Store it in an air-tight container in your pantry. It’ll keep for a bit. That way you’re always ready to make some delicious flavor-packed wings!
Also try my Buffalo ranch and Joe Montana dry rubbed wings.
