Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to ensure maximum crispiness.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd them so they cook evenly and get crispy.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides are evenly cooked and crispy.
Once cooked, sprinkle the wings with lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve immediately with a side of your favorite Mediterranean dips or sauces.
