"CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

By RoketJSquerl

You’ll never believe these chicken wings were baked in the oven! Super easy, crispy skin, and meat that falls off the bone.

Ingredients

• YIELD:
• 4 to 6 servings
• INGREDIENTS:
• 3 pounds chicken wings
• 3 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place a wire cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with foil.
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin and cayenne pepper (if using).
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over all of the chicken wings, then rub evenly all over the chicken. Place the wings on the cooling rack.
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn the wings over, increase the oven temperature to 250 degrees F and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn the wings over, increase the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
RECIPE NOTES:
You can bake the whole wings (which I prefer) or separate them prior to baking.
If you want to sauce the wings, you can do a simple seasoning rub, then toss in sauce before the last 30 minutes of baking.
