Recipe: Crispy Dry Rub Chicken Wings

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Place a rack on a baking sheet and lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.

2. Ensure chicken wings are patted dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the skin crisp up.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using. Mix thoroughly to create the dry rub.

4. Add the wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dry rub. Ensure each wing is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.

5. Arrange the wings on the prepared rack in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. This helps the heat circulate around the wings for even cooking.

6. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the wings are golden and the skin is crispy. Halfway through baking, flip the wings to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

7. Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making sure your wings are moist on the inside and crispy on the outside.

8. Serve the wings hot, alongside your chosen sides and dipping sauces. Enjoy the burst of flavor and the satisfying crunch of these irresistible Crispy Dry Rub Chicken Wings!
