Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, sea salt, and cayenne pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the spice mixture to ensure they are evenly coated.
Arrange the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure to leave some space between each wing for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they become crispy and golden on both sides.
While the wings are baking, prepare a quick garnish by chopping the fresh cilantro and mixing it with the fresh lime juice in a small bowl.
Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer to a platter.
Drizzle the lime juice and cilantro mix over the hot wings for an additional burst of flavor.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your sugar-free and flavorful alitas de pollo!
