Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 40 cloves Garlic cloves (peeled)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tsp Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 tsp Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss well to ensure the wings are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned wings out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Place the peeled garlic cloves around the wings, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Roast the wings and garlic in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
While the wings are roasting, prepare the garlic-herb butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the chopped thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest. Stir to combine and keep warm.
After 40 minutes of roasting, remove the wings and garlic from the oven. Transfer the roasted garlic cloves to a small bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the garlic cloves into a paste.
Add the mashed garlic paste to the melted herb butter and stir until fully combined.
Brush the garlic-herb butter mixture generously over the roasted wings. Toss the wings to ensure they are fully coated.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Serve the wings hot with an extra drizzle of the garlic-herb butter. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs or lemon wedges for added brightness.
