Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. Place them on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat, then sprinkle the spice rub all over, turning to cover every surface. Refrigerate uncovered on the rack for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the dry brine to penetrate and the surface to dry out further.
