Instructions:

Prepare the fries:

Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

While the fries are baking, season the chicken wings. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the wings in the seasoning mix until evenly coated.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil.
