Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by thoroughly patting your chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them on a rack set over a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Toss chilled wings with baking powder and kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the mixture.
  3. Whisk together dry rub ingredients in a separate bowl until well mixed.
  4. Generously apply the dry rub to the wings, coating thoroughly and refrigerating for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, placing a wire rack on top.
  6. Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer and lightly spray with cooking oil.
  7. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let the wings rest for 5 minutes after baking before serving.
