The reason behind this is because these herbs and spices contain thermogenic properties. Research shows that thermogenic foods, such as cayenne pepper, contain active compounds that increase metabolism (1).

Since the chicken itself is crunchy and oily, you may want something savory for a side dish like a Mexican salad or just lime juice and sesame seeds sprinkled on a garden salad.

FAQ

Are dry rub wings keto?

No, the typical dry rub wings are usually not keto-friendly as they often contain sugars and flour. The best way is to check the ingredients of the rub to ensure no hidden sugar and carbs, or make your own meal by following my recipe above.

How long can you leave dry rub on chicken?

You can leave a dry rub on chicken for as little as 30 minutes for a quick flavor infusion, but for best results, allowing the chicken to marinate with the rub for 4-24 hours in the refrigerator will yield a deeper and more pronounced flavor.

How to reheat dry rub chicken wings

To reheat dry rub chicken wings in the oven, place the wings on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper, and heat for 7-10 minutes in a preheated oven to 375°F (190°C) or until they’re heated through and crispy. I don’t suggest using a microwave as it can make the wings soggy. If using an air fryer, reheat at 375°F for 3-4 minutes or until crispy.
