Heat oven to 425°F. Line two 15x10x1-inch pans with foil, and spray with cooking spray.

In large bowl, add chicken wings and oil; mix well. Stir in ranch dressing mix and red pepper; toss to coat evenly.

Serve these with a drizzle of ranch dressing and a sprinkle of chopped chives for amped-up ranch flavor.
Make sure chicken wings are completely thawed to avoid watering out during baking.
