Description
Achieve perfectly crispy chicken wings in your oven with this simple recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Ensure the wings are not overcrowded.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, you can place the wings in the refrigerator uncovered for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Consider using a baking sheet with a wire rack to allow air to circulate around the wings for even crisping.
