Wings

Method

Preparing the Wings

  1. 1

    Clean and Dry the Wings

    Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, and olive oil until evenly coated.

Cooking the Wings

  1. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Preparing the Sauce or Dry Rub

  1. 4

    Make the Wing Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Stir until well combined and heated through.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Dry Rub

    In a small bowl, combine black pepper, salt, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Mix well.

Tossing the Wings

  1. 6

    Toss with Sauce or Dry Rub

    Once the wings are cooked, place them in a large bowl. If you are using the wing sauce, pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat. For the dry rub, sprinkle it over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Wings

    Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Serve hot with celery sticks and your choice of dipping sauces such as ranch or blue cheese.
