Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 1.5 lbs (about 680 grams) chicken wings
Rub and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients in one place to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- Mix Spices: In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and salt thoroughly.
- Apply Rub: Toss the chicken wings in the spice mixture along with olive oil to evenly coat each wing with the Louisiana rub flavors.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a rack for even cooking and crispy texture.
- Bake Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the rack and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
- Broil for Crispiness: If desired, broil the wings for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve extra crispiness on the skin.
Notes
- Ensure wings are pat dry before tossing to help the rub stick better.
- Flipping the wings halfway through baking promotes even cooking and crispiness.
- Broiling is optional but recommended for a crunchier texture.
- You can adjust the cayenne pepper amount to make the wings more or less spicy to suit your taste.
