Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Chicken Wings: If the chicken wings are whole, you'll want to separate them into drumettes and flats. You can usually find pre-cut wings in most grocery stores, which saves you this step. Pat the wings dry with paper towels; this helps them crisp up in the oven.
- Season the Wings: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned wings meticulously across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly to promote optimal crisping during the baking process.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
- Presentation time: Once the wings have achieved their desired level of crispiness and succulence, carefully extract them from the oven, ready to be devoured.You can serve them as they are for a classic flavor or toss them in your favorite sauce for added flavor. Some popular sauce options include buffalo sauce, barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or teriyaki sauce.
- Optional: Sauce and Garnish: If you're using sauce, toss the baked wings in the sauce of your choice while they're still hot. Garnish with chopped parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds for added freshness and visual appeal.
Enjoy: Serve the chicken wings hot with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
