Memphis Zero Heat - Wing Rub
Memphis Zero Heat - Wing Rub
Sometimes you want zero heat, and this is the perfect wing rub to give you that great flavour with none of the spice.
Dress it up with a sweet BBQ sauce, or just dip it in ranch dressing, you choose. All we can say is with this rub you won't be surprised by too much heat. Not ever!
Lex's mom isn't into heat, so Lex found a way that she could get in on wing night too. This Memphis Zero Heat was the result and we're really pleased with it. She's excited to have you try it and hear your thoughts!
How to use wing rub
Rubs are crazy simple ways to add flavour to your wings. Simply rinse and pat dry your wings, then sprinkle on the rub and rub it in. Boom! You are ready to throw them on the grill, in the smoker or into the oven.
Serve them dry, or dress them with your favourite sauce
Cooking Wings
On the BBQ
Cook your wings on the grill direct over a medium-high flame (350-400ºF) for 20-25 minutes. Keep the lid closed. If you're looking, you're not cooking. Cook to an internal temperature of 165ºF. (But between 170ºF-175ºF will give you fall-off-the-bone perfection but is harder to control if you have smallish wings.).
For sticky saucing, brush with sauce in the last 5 minutes. Or just toss with sauce when they come off the grill.
In the Oven
Wings work well in the oven too. Preheat your oven to 400ºF for about 20-25 minutes. It's a little higher than the BBQ because you won't have the hot spots and flame to get them lovely and crispy.
Lay them out on a sheet pan lined with parchment or tinfoil. Turn them over once. Cook to an internal temperature of 165ºF. (But between 170ºF-175ºF will give you fall-off-the-bone perfection but is harder to control if you have smallish wings.)
Deep-fry or Air-fry your wings?
Both are great options. Again you are going for an internal temperature of 170ºF-175ºF for fall-off-the-bone perfection. Once they are done, throw them in a preheated bowl and toss them with your favourite sauce or even a little dusting of the rub for a dry wing.
Have a Smoker?
Smokers make outstanding wings! Low and smokey and this rub works wonderfully with smoked wings. Set up your smoker to smoke at 225ºF. Smoke for 1-1.5 hours until you get an internal temp of 165ºF. At this point, you can sauce them and throw them on the grill to finish up, or eat them as is.

One of my go-to breakfasts is a veggie scramble. In summer, I pick Swiss Chard fresh from my garden to have with my eggs. I added 1/2 teaspoon of Memphis Zero to my greens as they were wilting. Then scrambled two eggs, poured over the greens, cooked, and finished with hot sauce and voila - an elevated morning (or anytime) meal.
Love this! Thanks for sharing the recipe, LH!
I'll add it to our recipe collection as well.
Love that you are finding ways to use Memphis Zero in your go-to breakfasts. (and love me some Swiss Chard, so I'll be trying this too!)

Spice Storage
Spices, rubs and spice blends, should be stored in a dry, cool, dark place and used quickly to get the most flavour from them.
Ground spices typically lose their freshness and are often past their peak in 6 months.
