2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp smoked paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in olive oil to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and browned.
Garnish with chopped chives or parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Spicy Wings: Add more cayenne or hot sauce before baking for extra spice.
Garlic Parmesan: Toss wings in melted butter mixed with garlic and Parmesan cheese for a rich flavor after baking.
BBQ Wings: Brush BBQ sauce on wings in the last 5 minutes of baking for a tangy finish.
Use a wire rack for extra crispiness; baking directly on the sheet works too.
