1 Tbsp chili powder (or ancho chili powder, or a mix of the two)
1 Tbsp paprika (or smoked paprika, or a mix of the two)

2 tsp brown sugar

1 ½ tsp onion powder
1 ½ tsp salt

1 tsp cumin

½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp mustard powder

¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
¼ tsp oregano
¼ tsp thyme

2 lbs fresh or thawed chicken wings

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Toss the chicken wings to coat them in the spice mix.
3. Place wings on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.

Tip: The organic split tip wings at Costco are good. The pkg is about 4 lbs so it will do a double batch. But they should be cooked on two pans. If they’re crowded, they won’t crisp up nicely.

Simple recipe tip: If you don’t have all the spices needed, you can just pat the wings dry, spice them with salt and pepper and then cook them according to the directions above.
