- Paprika โ 2 teaspoons
- Ground pepper โ 2 teaspoons
- Salt โ 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder โ 1 tablespoon
- Butter โ 57 g (1/4 cup) melted

Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 220ยฐC (425ยฐF) and grease a rimmed baking sheet with baking spray. - Mix the Spice Rub
In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, ground pepper, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until well blended. - Prepare the Chicken Wings
If not using pre-cut winglets, break down the whole chicken wings into drumettes and flats, discarding the wing tips or saving them for stock. - Dry and Season Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Add them to the bowl with spice rub and toss until well coated. - Bake the Wings
Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure they do not steam. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. - Crisp Them Up
For extra crispiness, set the oven to broil and continue cooking the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes. - Finish with Butter
Melt butter and mix in reserved spices or additional salt to taste. Drizzle over the hot wings and toss to coat.
These crispy, flavorful chicken wings are perfect game day snacks or party treats! Enjoy their savory goodness on their own or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
