Description

This recipe for baked chicken wings offers a deliciously crispy and flavorful twist on classic wings, using a blend of aromatic spices including garlic, onion powder, paprika, and cumin. Baked to perfection in the oven, these wings are a perfect appetizer or snack that’s easy to prepare and satisfying to eat.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 lb. (900g) split chicken wings

Spice Mix

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spice mix: In a small bowl or shallow plate, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and instant chicken stock (if using). Mix well to blend all spices evenly.
  2. Coat the chicken wings: Place the split chicken wings in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle the prepared spice mix over the wings. Toss thoroughly to ensure each wing is evenly coated with oil and spices. Allow the wings to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and position the oven rack in the middle to ensure even cooking.
  4. Arrange wings for baking: Spread the coated chicken wings out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. For easier cleanup, line the sheet with foil or parchment paper if desired.
  5. Bake the wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, then immediately reduce the temperature to 340ºF (170ºC). Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, turning or flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispness.
  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 help maintain their crisp texture. Serve garnished with lemon slices and fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your flavorful baked chicken wings!

Notes

  • Marinating the wings overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness.
  • Using a baking rack on the sheet can help achieve even crispier skin by allowing air circulation.
  • If you prefer spicier wings, increase the cayenne pepper to taste.
  • For a lower fat version, pat the wings dry before applying oil and reduce oil quantity slightly.
  • Instant chicken stock powder is optional but adds depth to the seasoning.
  • Make sure to flip the wings halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • Letting wings rest after baking helps retain crispiness.
