Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (for crispiness)
- 1/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce (optional, for tossing)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- If whole, separate the chicken wings into drumettes and flats. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and baking powder.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Lay the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not touch.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Ensure wings are golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely.
- If desired, toss wings in hot sauce in a large bowl.
- Transfer wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, let the wings air-dry in the refrigerator for a few hours before seasoning.
- Experiment with different spices and sauces, such as honey or soy sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
