Instructions
- Grab 2 pounds of chicken wings and blot them completely dry using paper towels.

- Add salt and pepper to taste, then thoroughly mix so every wing gets an even seasoning layer.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange wings in a single layer without touching each other.
- Lightly spray wings with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up nicely.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 375°F oven and bake for exactly 20 minutes.

Notes
- Experiment with different spice blends to customize the rub and match your flavor preferences.
- For extra crispy wings, let the seasoned wings sit uncovered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking to help dry out the skin.
- Gluten-free diets can swap wheat flour for cornstarch or almond flour to maintain the crispy coating.
- Check wing doneness with a meat thermometer to guarantee food safety and perfectly cooked meat every time.
