Instructions

  1. Prepare the wings

    Wash the chicken wings, trim any excess skin or tips, and pat them completely dry with paper towels.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Make the spice mixture

    In a mixing bowl combine salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground ginger, and cornstarch. Stir until evenly mixed.

    Time: PT3M

  3. Coat the wings

    Add the dried wings to the bowl with the spice mixture and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 400°F

  5. Arrange wings on rack

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, place a wire rack on top, and spray the rack lightly with cooking spray. Spread the wings in a single layer on the rack, leaving a little space between each piece.

    Time: PT6M
