Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 2 tablespoons green onions for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup allows the wings to cook evenly and get crispy.
Step 2
In a large bowl, add the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the wings crisp up in the oven.
Step 3
Drizzle the avocado oil over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder (if using).
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken wings, ensuring each wing is well coated.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Ensure they are not touching to allow air to circulate around them.
Step 7
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy these savory salt and pepper chicken wings as part of your Whole30 diet.
