Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt, cumin, and brown sugar to create the dry rub.
  3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  4. Place the wings in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the dry rub over the wings and toss until all pieces are well coated.
  6. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are crispy and cooked through.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra heat, sprinkle some extra cayenne pepper before baking or serve with a spicy dipping sauce like sriracha mayo.
