Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings & drumettes 
• 2 tbsp olive oil 
• 1 tsp garlic powder 
• 1 tsp onion powder 
• 1 tsp smoked paprika 
• 1 tsp black pepper 
• 1 tsp salt 
• ½ tsp chili flakes 
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning 
• 1 tbsp baking powder (for extra crispiness) 
• Optional: melted butter for brushing 

 Step-by-Step Instructions

 Step 1: Prep the Chicken

 Wash and pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels.
 Removing extra moisture helps the wings become beautifully crispy 

 Step 2: Season the Wings

 In a large bowl, add:

• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Smoked paprika
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Chili flakes
• Italian seasoning
• Baking powder

 Drizzle olive oil over the wings.
 Toss everything together until every wing is evenly coated with seasoning 

 Step 3: Rest for Better Flavor

 Let the wings rest for about 15–20 minutes.
 This helps the seasoning soak into the chicken for extra flavor 

 Oven Method

 Step 4: Arrange the Wings

 Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
 Place wings on a wire rack over a baking tray.
 Keep space between each piece for even crispiness.

 Step 5: Bake

 Bake for 20 minutes.
 Flip the wings carefully.
 Bake another 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crispy 

 Air Fryer Method

 Step 4 Alternative

 Preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
 Arrange wings in a single layer.

 Step 5 Alternative

 Air fry for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through.
 Cook until crispy and nicely browned 

 Step 6: Final Touch

 Brush lightly with melted butter for extra shine and flavor.
 Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce
