Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. This setup lets airflow circulate around the wings, ensuring they're nice and crispy.
In a large bowl, coat the chicken wings with olive oil. Then, sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over them. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated in the spices.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they're not touching each other. Bake these delicious wings in the oven for about 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through so they cook evenly.
Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
These wings are versatile—serve them plain or toss them in your choice of sauce for extra flavor!
