Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, measure out garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and instant chicken stock. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
  2. Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle the spice mix over the wings, tossing gently to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and prepare your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  4. Arrange marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. Lower the oven temperature to 340ºF (170ºC) and bake for 50-60 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  5. Let the baked chicken wings rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh lemon and chopped cilantro.
