Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 9 Chicken Wings
Dry Seasonings:
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Wet Ingredients and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
- 10 Grams Garlic
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh Parsley
- 50 Grams Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Dissect 9 full chicken wings into separate drumsticks and flat sections using a sharp knife, creating clean cuts at the joint.
- Combine 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp cayenne, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp dried oregano in a small mixing bowl. Drizzle 1 tbsp melted butter and 1 tsp lemon juice over the spice mixture.
- Thoroughly coat each chicken wing piece with the seasoned butter mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage across all surfaces.
- Arrange seasoned wings on a lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow heat circulation. Roast at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove wings from oven and brush 1 tbsp hot sauce evenly across the surface. Sprinkle 10 grams minced garlic and distribute wings to create a single layer.
- Increase oven temperature to 390°F. Return wings to oven and bake for additional 10-15 minutes until skin turns golden and crispy.
- Garnish freshly baked wings with 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley immediately after removing from oven.
Notes
- Pat the chicken wings dry before seasoning to help them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
- Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to let air circulate around the wings and get extra crunch.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular hot sauce for a certified gluten-free brand and check your spice blend ingredients.
- Fresh herbs like parsley make a big difference, so chop them just before adding to get maximum flavor and brightness.
