Pat dry the chicken wings and toss them with baking powder, garlic, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Prepare a large sheet pan lined with parchment and a wire rack on top. Lightly spray with oil. Place the wings over the wreck with some space in-between. Bake for 30-40 minutes total. Rotate the sheet pan at half baking point.
In the meantime, have aromatics prepped ready and set aside. Combine dry spice seasonings in one bowl.
In the last 5 minutes while the wings are still baking in the oven, pre-heat a large skillet or wok with ¼ cup oil. When hot, lower the heat to medium, saute white scallion parts, garlic, ginger, chili peppers, and 1 tsp salt until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the ingredients. (We are going to combine the wings with the fragrant oil while they are both hot so you want to measure the timing well).
Once the wings are out of the oven, saute and toss the wings in the skillet with the fragrant oil and aromatics for about 1.5 minutes. Transfer to a large serving plate.
Sprinkle with dry spice seasonings 1 tsp a time until your desired spice level. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges on the side. Serve hot and immediately.

Notes
Homemade Paleo Baking Powder Substitute:
2 tbsp baking soda
¼ cup cream of tartar
¼ cup tapioca starch/flour
To make ahead: Chop the aromatics in advance (a day ahead is okay) and store them in a food saver container in the fridge so the aromatics won’t turn watery.
