Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd them to allow even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or a spicy tomato sauce.
