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.
