Wing Rub and Wings
Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce
Method
Wing Rub and Oven Prep
- 1
Preheat and Pat Dry
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture for crisper skin.
- 2
Make Rub
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir in lemon juice.
- 3
Coat Wings
Add wings to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the rub and oil. Let sit 5–10 minutes if time allows for deeper flavor.

Prepare Baking Setup
Line a baking sheet with parchment or a rack. Arrange wings in a single layer, making sure they are not touching for even roasting.

Roast Wings
Roast in the heated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skins are crisp and the meat reaches 165°F (74°C). For extra crispiness, broil 1–2 minutes at the end.

Finish
Optional: squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the wings for brightness.
