Nutrition Facts: servingSize 0.25 recipe, calories 380 kcal, Carbohydrate 0.1 g, Protein 35 g, Fat 25 g, Saturated Fat 7 g, Sodium 533 mg
Ingredients:
- 3 lb. chicken wings, (split, tips removed)
- 2 tablespoons butter, (melted)
- 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt ((if using fine salt, you might want to use less))
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika ((or smoked paprika))
Instruction:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and fit the baking sheets with wire racks.
- If your chicken wings are whole, cut the tips off and separate the drumettes and the flats (here’s a good video that shows how to do that).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the melted butter.
- Arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer on the wire racks, not touching each other. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Bake the wings until they are cooked through and their skin is browned and crispy, about 40 minutes.
- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: For extra crispy wings, bake the wings for just 30 minutes, then leave them in the oven, lower the oven temperature to the “keep warm” setting (170 degrees F), and keep the wings in the oven for 30-60 more minutes.
