Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes while the oven heats up.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness.
For extra crispiness, place the wings under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken wings from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an added zing.
