- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- If whole, separate the wings into drumettes and flats by cutting through the joint. Discard the wing tips.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl. If using olive oil, drizzle it over the wings before adding the dry rub. Toss until evenly coated.
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Lay the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Ensure wings are golden brown and crispy. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Let the wings rest on the wire rack for a few minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
- Use aluminum-free baking powder for the best texture.
- Ensure wings are thoroughly dried for maximum crispiness.
- Adjust spices in the dry rub to suit your taste preferences.
