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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and toss them in olive oil until evenly coated.
Mix the Dry Rub: Combine brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, paprika, salt, chili powder, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Season the Wings: Sprinkle the dry rub over the wings and toss until fully coated.
Arrange on Rack: Place the wings on the prepared rack in a single layer without overlapping.
Bake: Bake for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
Serve: Let the wings rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure the wings are completely dry before seasoning.
Add smoked paprika or citrus zest for a unique flavor twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C).
