Set your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over the sheet. Tip: This setup allows air to circulate around the wings, helping them cook evenly and become crispy. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of paprika (smoked or regular), 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, ½ teaspoon of chili powder, and ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional). Mix well. Tip: Mixing the spices thoroughly helps distribute the flavor evenly. First, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. Place the wings in a large bowl and sprinkle the dry rub over them. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the rub. Tip: Removing moisture helps the dry rub stick better and makes the wings crispier. Lay the wings out in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Turn the wings halfway through the cooking time to brown them evenly. Tip: Turning the wings halfway through helps them cook evenly on both sides. Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
