Instructions
In a small bowl or shallow plate, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, Cayenne, pepper, salt, and instant chicken stock.
Arrange the chicken wings in a large salad bowl, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with the spice mix. Mix thoroughly so the chicken is coated. Allow to rest for 30 minutes; overnight in the refrigerator is best. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and set the rack to the middle position.

When ready to bake, spread the chicken wings on a rimmed baking sheet (you can line it with foil or parchment paper).
Place the baking sheet with the wings in the oven and reduce the temperature to 340ºF (170ºC) for 50 minutes to 1 hour. You can flip the wings at mid-cooking time if you like.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Let rest for 5 minutes. This will help the baked chicken wings retain more of their crispiness. Garnish with lemon slices and cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning. Resting overnight in the refrigerator allows the flavors to deepen. Adjust Cayenne to control spice level. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
