Ingredients

For the Crispy Wing Dry Rub

  • 2 tablespoon Granulated Garlic Powder
  • 2 tablespoon Granulated Onion Powder
  • 2 tablespoon Cajun Spice
  • 2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper

For the Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

  • 30 Wings drums and flats, patted dry
  • 6 tablespoon Duck Fat divided into thirds

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Add all the spices for the dry rub into a large bowl. Add in the wings and mix to coat the wings well.
  • Heat a cast iron or other heavy bottom saute pan over high heat. Add in 2 tablespoon of the duck fat, bacon fat or ghee. When the fat is shimmering in the pan, add in the first round of wings.
  • Saute the wings for about 2 minutes a side, turning carefully with tongs. As the wings get nice and crisp, remove them from the pan and add in a single layer to the baking sheet. Repeat this process until all the wings are cooked.
  • Add the wings to the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully drain off the juices from the pan. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes and then reduce the heat to 300. Cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and happy eating!
