Transform your dinner with these easy crispy dry rub chicken wings! Perfect for game day, parties, or a quick weeknight meal, these wings are packed with bold flavors and a satisfying crunch. Follow this simple recipe to achieve juicy, tender chicken with a spicy, smoky crust.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if you like a kick). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
Place the wings in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing until evenly coated. Sprinkle the dry rub mixture over the wings and toss again to ensure every wing is perfectly seasoned. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each wing for even cooking.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, blue cheese, or BBQ sauce. These flavor-packed wings are sure to be a hit!
