- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Instructions
- Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve the crispiest texture.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) until evenly coated.

- Sauce (Optional): If desired, toss the cooked wings in your favorite wing sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy the wings hot, paired with dipping sauces or sides of your choice.
