Wiiiingz

There's nothing better than a plate full of chicken wings.  Today it seems like every restaurant on the planet has some kind of chicken wing on their menu, and with a billion different flavors out there it can be hard to choose a favorite.  There's no doubt that home made is always going to be the best but my favorite wings are the Kentucky derby bleu cheese wings at Velocity 5 in Arlington VA.

This recipe is a simple dry rub that can be altered in so many different ways ( I added chili flakes to mine.) So get those wet-naps ready cuz these wings will rock your socks!

Here's what you'll need
Makes enough rub for about 20 wings
Ingredients:
3 TBS dark brown sugar
3 TBS salt
1 TBS freshly ground black pepper; coarsely ground
1 TBS paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
A bit of olive oil to brush on the wings

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.  Cut the tips off of your wings if they came with them.  Remove any extra feathers that may still be on the chicken.
2.  Brush on a bit of olive oil on to each wing coating the entire thing.  Sprinkle the dry rub onto the wings and don't be shy with it!
3. Place on a baking sheet lined with tinfoil and pop those babies into the oven for 45 min or until the skin is nice and crispy golden brown.
4. Put them in your mouth and enjoy!
