Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp optional hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top for better air circulation and crispy wings.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the wings. If desired, add the optional hot sauce for extra heat. Toss until the wings are fully seasoned.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings using tongs to ensure even cooking. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese.
