Awesome Cajun Chicken Wings

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp better during cooking.

Combine cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, onion powder, salt, white pepper, and fresh ground black pepper in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.

Place the dried chicken wings in a large bowl and drizzle with vegetable oil, tossing to coat evenly.

Add the Cajun spice mixture to the oiled wings and toss until all pieces are well coated with the seasoning.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on baking sheets in a single layer, spacing them so air can circulate freely.

Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until the skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.
