Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, tips removed and split into drumettes and flats
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Prepare the Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Apply the Dry Rub:
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the dry rub mixture over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This allows the heat to circulate around the wings and helps them become crispy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wings halfway through baking for even crispness.
- Serve:
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and side dishes.
