Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the 2 lb chicken wings dry with paper towels—this helps them get crispy.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the wings with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment. Do not crowd—use two sheets if needed.

  4. 4

    Roast for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skin is deeply golden and crispy, and the meat is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

  5. 5

    Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Add extra spices like cumin or chili powder if you like.
