Note

For extra crispy wings, you can sprinkle 1 teaspoon of baking powder into the dry spice mix before tossing with the wings. Ensure the wings are patted completely dry with paper towels before seasoning.

To make this dish gluten-free, ensure your chili powder and spice blends are certified gluten-free.

Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness, rather than using a microwave which may make them soggy.

If you prefer more heat, increase the red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
