Ingredients

• 2 lb. (900g) split chicken wings
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon instant chicken stock (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the Spice Mix
   In a small bowl or shallow plate, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, Cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and instant chicken stock (if using). This aromatic blend will give your wings a rich, savory flavor.
2. Coat the Chicken Wings
   Place the split chicken wings in a large bowl. Drizzle them with oil and sprinkle the spice mix over the top. Use your hands or a spatula to mix thoroughly, ensuring each wing is evenly coated. For maximum flavor, allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes. If time permits, cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
3. Preheat the Oven
   When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Adjust the oven rack to the middle position for even cooking.
4. Bake the Wings
   Arrange the marinated chicken wings on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the baking sheet in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 340ºF (170ºC). Bake the wings for 50 minutes to 1 hour, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
5. Finish and Serve
   Once the wings are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them rest on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes. This resting time will enhance their crispiness. For a fresh, zesty touch, garnish with lemon slices and cilantro if desired.
