Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 wire rack

Ingredients

  • 8 whole chicken wings 2 lb/ 900 g
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons seasoning Note 1

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 430 degrees Fahrenheit/ 220 degrees Celsius. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Spray the rack with cooking spray (or brush it lightly with oil) (Note 2).
  • Season: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl and coat them with the oil. Sprinkle the seasoning all over them and rub them well to cover them all over.
  • Bake: Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit/ 74 degrees Celsius and the wings are crispy.

Notes

  1. I love Cajun seasoning, but many other spice mixtures are perfect for making chicken wings. Try your favorite chicken dry rub, lemon pepper, Za’atar, Italian seasoning, curry powder, and so on.
  2. This step prevents the wings from sticking.
