Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. Drizzle olive oil over the wings, sprinkle the spice mix, and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  6. Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Toss the wings in hot sauce after baking if desired.
  9. Transfer wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley.
  10. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese.
  11. Gather friends and family to enjoy these delicious wings!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, let the wings air-dry in the fridge for a few hours before seasoning.
  • Feel free to experiment with different spices or sauces to suit your taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
