Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Wings
- 1.5 lbs (about 680 grams) chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Louisiana Rub Spice Mix
- 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 the ingredients listed to ensure you have everything ready before starting the preparation process.
- Mix Spices: In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create an even Louisiana rub spice blend.
- Season the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the spice bowl, pour in olive oil, and toss thoroughly until each wing is evenly coated with the spice mixture and oil.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a rack to allow air circulation around the wings.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Broil for Crispiness: For extra crispiness, broil the wings on high for an additional 2 to 3 minutes once baking is complete. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Notes
- Make sure to flip the wings halfway through baking to get an even crisp on all sides.
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to allow fat to drip away and wings to crisp better.
- You can adjust the cayenne pepper amount based on your heat preference.
- Broiling adds extra crispiness; however, it’s optional based on your texture preference.
- Allow wings to rest for a few minutes after baking before serving to let the flavors meld.
