Chicken Wing Oven
Ingredients:
– 2 pounds of chicken wings, split at joints, tips discarded
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the foil-lined baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the wings are evenly coated.
3. Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack on the baking sheet. This allows the hot air to circulate around the wings and helps them cook evenly and crisp up perfectly.
4. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. It’s important to flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up on both sides.
5. Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a clean mixing bowl.
6. Pour the barbecue sauce over the hot wings and toss them gently until each wing is coated in the delicious sauce.
7. Place the saucy wings back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
8. Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This brief resting period allows the flavors to meld and ensures you don’t burn your mouth on piping hot wings!
These Chicken Wing Oven results are finger-licking good, and the best part is you didn’t have to deal with a deep fryer or a messy stovetop to enjoy them. They’re perfect for serving with a side of creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing, along with some crunchy celery and carrot sticks. Whether you’re hosting a party or treating yourself to a cozy night in, these wings are sure to be a hit! Enjoy the simplicity of the recipe and the mouthwatering flavor of these oven-baked chicken wings.
