Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method
 

  1. Start by thoroughly rinsing the chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is an important step to ensure that the wings get crispy during baking. Once dry, place the wings in a large mixing bowl.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken wings, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the wings. Toss everything together so the wings are fully coated with the seasoning.

  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the tray, making sure they aren't overcrowded. This ensures the wings cook evenly and crisp up nicely.

  4. Bake the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through, flip the wings to ensure they cook evenly on both sides. The skin should be crispy, and the meat should be fully cooked.
