Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for even cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the Creole seasoning blend.
Step 3
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken wings, ensuring they're evenly coated. Add the Creole seasoning blend and toss the wings until fully coated in the spices.
Step 5
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not overlap. This helps them cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
Step 6
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
Step 7
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately brush them with the hot sauce for an extra layer of tangy heat.
Step 8
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the hot sauce.
Step 9
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve the wings hot with a side of ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or your favorite dipping sauce.
