Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper until coated. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again.
