Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings, split into drumettes and wingettes

2 tablespoons baking powder (aluminum-free)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Your favorite dipping sauce (buffalo, ranch, or blue cheese)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the heat to circulate around the wings, ensuring they cook evenly and become crispy.

    Prepare Chicken Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels; this step is crucial for achieving a crispy finish. Removing excess moisture helps the wings crisp up beautifully in the oven.

      Make the Dry Rub: In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed.

        Coat the Chicken Wings: Add the wings to the bowl with the dry rub mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until all the wings are coated evenly with the spice blend.

          Arrange on the Rack: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they aren’t touching each other; this allows for optimal air flow and ensures they get crispy.

            Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness. Keep an eye on them towards the end to achieve your desired level of crispiness.

              Serve: Once they are golden and crispy, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

                Enjoy! Dive into your Crunchy Spice Delight Chicken Wings, savoring the explosion of flavors and satisfying crunch with every bite!
