Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to ensure maximum crispiness.
Step 4
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd them so they cook evenly and get crispy.
Step 7
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides are evenly cooked and crispy.
Step 8
Once cooked, sprinkle the wings with lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley for a burst of fresh flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately with a side of your favorite Mediterranean dips or sauces.
