Ingredient Notes
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this delicious dry rub wings appetizer!
Chicken Wings: I like to use the wings and drumettes that are already separated. I find these at Costco. They are called “party wings”. You can also buy regular wings and separate them yourself!
Olive Oil: You can also use avocado oil, whichever you prefer!
Dry Rub: This is a mix of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground mustard, salt, and pepper. That’s it!
Recipe Step by Step
- Preheat your oven to 400. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Pat your wings dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl. Mix the spices together in a separate small bowl. Pour the olive oil onto the chicken, followed by the spices. Use your hands to mix everything together well. The spices should stick to the chicken wings so they are completely coated.
- Lay the wings out evenly on an oven-safe baking rack (if using*) on top of a baking sheet so they aren’t overlapping. Bake for 45 minutes. Check them halfway through and flip if they are getting too dark. (I didn’t need to flip mine). Broil for an additional 5 minutes at the end if you want them super crispy!
- Serve your keto chicken wings with your favorite dairy-free ranch or dipping sauce. I love Tessemae’s ranch!
Mary’s Tips & Tricks
Sauce: You can also coat your keto chicken wings with buffalo sauce or keto-friendly BBQ sauce once cooked!
Baking Tip: I’ve found that these dry rub wings crisp up nicely if you use an oven-safe baking rack on top of a baking sheet. If you place some tin foil on the pan, it makes for super easy clean-up. If you don’t have a rack to bake them on, placing them directly on a baking sheet is fine!
Recipe FAQs

You’ll use avocado oil or olive oil to coat the keto chicken wings so the dry rub sticks nicely! Don’t skip this step!

Best Chicken Wings EVER! I made these for Super Bowl Sunday and they were so good! Crunchy and super flavorful. They literally fell off the bone. I will for sure be making these again and again and again!
So delicious just as they are. Will definitely make these again.
Made these wings last night for the Super Bowl and they were a hit! I set aside Buffalo sauce to dip and no one did! Perfect as is. Just the right amount of smokiness and spice.
These wings are our favorite! They are so full of flavor and could not be any easier to make. My husband requests this recipe over all my other wing recipes.
