Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your favorite wing sauce for tossing (like buffalo or teriyaki)
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season It Up: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange for Cooking: Place the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for Crispiness: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- Sauce it Up: Once done, toss the wings in your favorite sauce while they’re still hot.
Notes
For even crispier wings, consider a double-baking technique. An extra 5-10 minutes after the initial bake can enhance the crunch.
