Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp optional hot sauce
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 for better air circulation and crispy wings.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the wings. If desired, add the optional hot sauce for extra heat. Toss until the wings are fully seasoned.
Step 5
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 6
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings using tongs to ensure even cooking. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese.
