Instructions
Preparation

- In a large bowl, combine the seasoning ingredients: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, oregano, and thyme.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Then, toss them in olive oil and coat them evenly with the seasoning mix.
Cooking
- Place the wings on a wire rack set over the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and fully cooked.

Notes
Serve the wings hot with a side of celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping. Make sure to pat the wings dry well before seasoning to get them extra crispy. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your spice preference. If you have any leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
