Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds whole chicken wings
  • 2-4 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs of choice I used a mixture of dried thyme, basil and oregano
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450F. If you are letting the chicken wings dry out in the fridge, hold off preheating the oven until later.
  • Whisk together the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried herbs, brown sugar, paprika, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Pat both sides of the wings dry with a paper towel. Optional: Leave the chicken wings uncovered in the fridge for at least an hour to help them dry out so they'll be more crispy when baked.
  • Brush both sides of the chicken wings generously with oil.
  • Season the wings generously on both sides with the spice rub.
  • Place the wings onto a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown and the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165F.
