Instructions
Add all spice ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar. Mix until well combined.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil. Top with an oven safe wire rack (I use my cookie cooling rack). Use non-stick cooking spray on the rack.
Pat wings dry with a paper towel. Make sure they're very dry!
Add dried wings and oil to a large bowl, coating wings evenly. Then add Louisiana rub recipe, massaging it into all the wings as evenly as possible.
Evenly place wings on prepared baking sheet in a single layer evenly spaced (skin side up) and bake for 45 minutes. If not using a rack, place skin side down and flip wings over at the halfway point.
Notes
Makes about ½ cup rub. Store leftover mixture in a cool dark place with your other spices.Use ¼ cup for every 2 pounds of wings.Store leftover wings covered in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days.
