Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a wire rack on a baking sheet. This will allow air to circulate around the wings and help them become crispy.

    Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness, as excess moisture can hinder the frying process.

      In a large bowl, mix the dry rub: Combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and ground mustard.

        Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the dry rub. Drizzle the olive oil over the wings and toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

          Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. This helps them cook evenly and become crispy.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. About halfway through, flip the wings for even cooking. If you want extra crispiness, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

              Remove wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain their juiciness.

                Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, and enjoy your crispy dry rub chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauces!
