Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (optional, for extra crispiness)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (for mayonnaise)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow for even air circulation.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder (if using). Mix thoroughly to form a seasoning blend.

Step 3

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then add them to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 4

Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows them to crisp up better.

Step 5

Roast the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are roasting, prepare the smoked paprika mayonnaise. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and minced garlic until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 7

Once the wings are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Serve the wings hot with the smoked paprika mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
