Ingredients
Chicken Wings Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings, trimmed or whole
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil For crispy golden skin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon Salt Or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- Cooking spray For greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the rack without overcrowding them.
Cooking
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- For extra crunch, broil the wings for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning.
Serving
- Once out of the oven, allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dips like hummus or ranch dressing.
Notes
Consider using plant-based or turkey wings for dietary restrictions. Storing leftovers: refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or freeze, wrapped tightly. Reheat in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C) for best texture.
