Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd them to allow even cooking.

Step 6

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 7

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or a spicy tomato sauce.
