Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper

- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade, ensuring all wings are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
To check for doneness, make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
