Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
2 pounds - chicken wings
1 tbsp - extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp - salt
2 teaspoons - paprika
1 tsp - dried thyme leaves
½ tsp - dried oregano
½ tsp - dried parsley
½ tsp - garlic powder
½ tsp - onion powder
¼ tsp - cumin
¼ tsp - cayenne pepper
1 tsp - brown sugar
¼ tsp - black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack on top. Cover the rack with another sheet of foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Use a knife to poke holes all over the foil.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place the chicken wings in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Drizzle the olive oil into the bag. Sprinkle in the salt. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the chicken wings.
In a small bowl, whisk together the spices, sugar, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture into the zip-top bag. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the chicken.
Arrange the chicken wings on the foil-covered roasting rack.
Bake the chicken wings on middle rack of oven until browned and crispy, 45-50 minutes.
Check to see that chicken wings are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
Allow the chicken wings to rest on roasting rack for 3 minutes. Plate and serve immediately.
