Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Chicken wings
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Dried chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For greasing the baking tray

Equipment

  • Large baking tray
  • Small bowl
  • Large Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large baking tray with olive oil and set it aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all the spices and stir them to mix.
  3. Pat the wings dry. Place them in a large bowl. Pour the dry spice rub over the wings and stir, or use your hands, to coat the wings completely.
  4. Place the coated wings on the greased baking tray. Do not overlap the wings so they bake evenly.
  5. Bake the wings in your preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until they are cooked through and golden brown. Flip the wings over halfway through baking, around the 20-minute mark.
  6. Remove the wings from the oven and serve them with your preferred dipping sauces.

Notes

Pat the wings dry. Do not skip this step or the dry rub will not stick well.
If you use frozen wings, make sure you allow them to defrost completely before you bake them.
Bake these wings at 400 degrees F. This high heat helps them bake properly and become crispy and golden.
