Preheat the oven - Place the rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.

Mix dry rub - Add dry rub ingredients to a bowl and mix until homogeneous. If the brown sugar clumps together, use the back of a spoon to press down and break up the sugar granules, then mix and set aside.

Rub chicken - Pat chicken wings dry with a paper towel and add to a mixing bowl. Toss the wings in the dry rub and use your fingers to rub the seasoning into the chicken wings until completely coated, covering every nook and cranny.

Bake chicken - Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a greased foil-lined baking sheet or a greased cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Leave some space between each wing and avoid crowding so the chicken cooks evenly and gets crispy. Place in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes, turning the wings over halfway through. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden and the internal temperature is 165°F (74°C). If you prefer your wings very crispy, you can cook for a few minutes more, but keep an eye on the wings to ensure the sugar does not burn.

Serve - Remove the chicken wings from the oven and transfer to a clean serving platter and sprinkle with finely chopped Italian parsley if desired. Enjoy immediately.
