Method
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. This helps the rub stick better and ensures crispy skin.
Step 2: Mix the Seasoning
- In a bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, and lemon zest. Stir well to mix evenly.
Step 3: Coat the Wings
- Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss them in the seasoning blend until every piece is coated perfectly.
Step 4: Bake or Air Fry
- Place wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway. For the air fryer, cook at 375°F for 18–20 minutes.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once golden and crisp, remove the wings and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Serve these flavorful wings with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
