FAQ for
Louisiana Rub Wings Recipe

What ingredients are used in Louisiana Rub Wings from Wing Stop?

Wing Stop's Louisiana Rub Wings require chicken wings, vegetable oil, and a blend of spices including paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, three types of pepper, brown sugar, and salt. This creates their signature savoury, slightly spicy coating.

How to cook Louisiana Rub Wings from Wing Stop at home?

Learn how to cook Louisiana Rub Wings from Wing Stop by patting wings dry, coating with oil, applying a homemade spice blend, then baking at 200°C for 40-45 minutes or air frying at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until crispy. The key is applying extra seasoning after cooking for authentic flavour.

What's the secret to getting crispy chicken wings without deep frying?

The secret to crispy chicken wings without deep frying lies in patting them completely dry before cooking, using a light coating of oil, cooking on a rack for air circulation, and using high heat. An air fryer or hot oven (200°C) delivers crispy results without the excess oil.

How spicy are Louisiana-style seasoned wings and can I adjust the heat level?

Louisiana-style wings have a moderate spice level with more emphasis on savoury flavours than heat. You can easily adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the cayenne pepper in the recipe—add more for extra kick or reduce it for milder wings suitable for all taste preferences.

Can I make this dry rub in bulk and store it for future use?

Yes! This Louisiana-style dry rub can be made in large batches and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Simply multiply the spice ingredients, mix thoroughly, and keep in a cool, dark place. It's perfect for wings, chicken, pork, or even sprinkling on chips.
