Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack with non-stick spray.

Pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with olive oil until well-coated.

In a separate bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and sprinkle over the wings, tossing to coat thoroughly.

Arrange the seasoned wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.

With about 10 minutes left, sprinkle brown sugar over each wing. Return to the oven until the sugar melts and caramelizes.

Optional: Drizzle wings with hot sauce and garnish with chopped parsley. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
