Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel. This crucial step helps them crisp up nicely in the oven.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other to allow even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, turn the wings over and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the baked chicken wings as a garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Paleo Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings!
