Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the Creole seasoning blend.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken wings, ensuring they're evenly coated. Add the Creole seasoning blend and toss the wings until fully coated in the spices.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not overlap. This helps them cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately brush them with the hot sauce for an extra layer of tangy heat.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the hot sauce.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the wings hot with a side of ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or your favorite dipping sauce.
