Description

This recipe for Baked Chicken Wings features a flavorful blend of spices and a simple baking method that yields crispy, tender wings. Marinated briefly in a mix of garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and other aromatic spices, these wings are baked to perfection in the oven for a healthier alternative to frying, delivering a deliciously crispy texture and mouthwatering taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 lb. (900g) split chicken wings

Spice Mix

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon instant chicken stock (optional)

Other

  • 1/2 cup oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spice mixture: In a small bowl or shallow plate, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, Cayenne, black pepper, salt, and instant chicken stock. Mix well to create a uniform spice blend.
  2. Marinate the chicken wings: Place the chicken wings in a large salad bowl, drizzle with 1/2 cup oil, and sprinkle the spice blend over them. Toss thoroughly to ensure every wing is evenly coated. Allow the wings to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, or ideally, marinate overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
  3. Preheat the oven: Before baking, preheat your oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and position the oven rack in the middle to ensure even cooking.
  4. Arrange the wings for baking: Spread the marinated chicken wings evenly on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  5. Bake the wings: Place the baking sheet in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 340ºF (170ºC). Bake the wings for 50 minutes to 1 hour, flipping them halfway through cooking to achieve an even crispness on all sides.
  6. Rest and serve: Carefully remove the wings from the oven and transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack. Let the wings rest for 5 minutes to lock in crispiness. Optionally, garnish with lemon slices and fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your crispy baked chicken wings!

Notes

  • Allowing the wings to marinate overnight enhances the flavor significantly.
  • Lining the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper makes for easier cleaning and prevents sticking.
  • Flipping the wings halfway through baking promotes even browning and crispness.
  • Resting the wings after baking helps retain their crisp texture.
  • Adjust salt and spice levels to taste, especially the cayenne for heat preference.
  • Garnishing with lemon and cilantro adds a fresh, bright contrast to the spicy wings.
