Perfectly seasoned with a blend of garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder, these wings boast bold, smoky flavors without excessive salt or unhealthy fats.

Garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness, these wings are proof that healthy eating can be deliciously indulgent.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are thoroughly coated with the olive oil and spice mixture.
Sprinkle the baking powder over the coated chicken wings and toss again to ensure even distribution. This will help them become extra crispy in the oven.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is a bit of space between each wing for even cooking.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the wings moist inside.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
