Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (approx. 200°C)
Line a large baking sheet with foil and top with a baking rack.
Coat the baking rack with olive oil and set aside. (This will prevent the chicken from sticking to the wire rack)
Pat-dry the chicken wings thoroughly till well dry and place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix all the spices well and sprinkle all over the chicken wings. Mix very well and make sure all the wings are thoroughly coated.
Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared baking rack.
Bake chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip all the wings and bake for another 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and rest the chicken wings for about 5 minutes for the natural juices to be redistributed.
Serve and Enjoy.
Notes
Pat the wings dry with paper towel before seasoning.
Add Baking Powder to your spice mix. Baking powder mixed with salt and coated on chicken dries out the skin, leaving it crisp and crunchy.
Bake the chicken wings at 400°F (approx. 200°C) for 40 to 45 minutes. Flip halfway though for even cooking and bake until the juices run clear and there is no more pink meat.
Use a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and add a rack on top. The chicken will produce natural juices and you don’t want those dripping into your oven.
Refrigerate leftover baked wings for three to four days. Make sure the temperature of your refrigerator is set to 40˚F (approx. 4.5°C) or colder to stay out of the danger zone.
To Freeze baked chicken wings, place them in a large, freezer safe container. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To re-heat, let the wings thaw in the refrigerator. Once thawed, place on a baking sheet and heat at 400˚F (approx 200°C) for 10 minutes or until heated through.
