Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken wings Choose fresh over frozen for the best result.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Vegetable oil works too if you prefer.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Essential for seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Adds a bit of heat.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Gives wings a beautiful color and smoky flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For that savory, aromatic touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until well-coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack to ensure even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for an even crisp.
  2. For extra crispiness, broil on high for an additional 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with classic side options, such as celery sticks and fresh blue cheese dressing. You can marinate the wings overnight for deeper flavor penetration before cooking.
