Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 2 tablespoons green onions for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup allows the wings to cook evenly and get crispy.
In a large bowl, add the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the wings crisp up in the oven.
Drizzle the avocado oil over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder (if using).
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken wings, ensuring each wing is well coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Ensure they are not touching to allow air to circulate around them.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy these savory salt and pepper chicken wings as part of your Whole30 diet.
