Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 for garnish lime wedges
- 2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top for even airflow.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up while baking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the taco seasoning mix, paprika, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken wings in the mixing bowl. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the spice blend.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 7
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy when done.
Step 8
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the wings to a serving plate and garnish with lime wedges and chopped cilantro, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your taco-flavored chicken wings!
