Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wing portions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Toss the wings in olive oil until evenly coated.
- Mix the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer without overlapping.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway, until wings are golden and crispy.
- Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the chili powder and red pepper flakes for desired spice levels.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like smoked paprika or fresh herbs for a unique twist.
- To keep wings crispy, reheat them in the oven instead of the microwave.
