Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). This is an important step as you want the heat to be just right for that tremendous crispiness.
-
Prepare the chicken wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, ensuring that each wing is evenly coated. This helps the seasonings stick and gives that beautiful golden color once baked.
-
Season the wings: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Toss once more until the wings are well covered in the flavorful mixture.
-
Arrange the wings: Lay the wings out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them cook evenly and achieve that tremendous crispiness.
-
Bake the wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Don’t forget to turn the wings halfway through to ensure even cooking and a delightful crunch on both sides.
-
Check for doneness: The wings should be golden brown and have an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). If they need more time, feel free to bake them for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Serve hot: Once the wings are perfectly crispy and cooked through, remove them from the oven. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
