Chicken Wings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until crispy and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Make Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Coat the Wings

    Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the garlic butter until well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the wings, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle crumbled blue cheese on top. Serve hot.
