Ingredients
  

For the Wings
  • cooking spray
  • 2 pounds chicken wingettes or wingettes and drumettes defrosted if frozen
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Seasoning Mix
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional (use more regular ground paprika to substitute)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin optional
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil until they are evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the seasoning mix. Stir well.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled chicken wings. Toss until all the wings are well-coated with the seasoning.
  6. Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will steam them instead of crisping them.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

These wings are delicious served with your favorite dipping sauce and a side of celery or carrot sticks.
