Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until fully coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings over.
Bake for another 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
If using hot sauce, toss the wings in the sauce right after baking.
For a sweet twist, drizzle honey over the wings before serving.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
