Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top—this helps crisp the wings all over.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and lime zest. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip the wings to ensure even cooking, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice over them while they're still hot, and toss them gently for even distribution.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by additional lime wedges for extra zing.
