Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints and tips removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Crispy Potatoes
- 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
Optional Garnish
- Chopped parsley or green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Chicken Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to help achieve crispy skin. Place them in a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat every wing evenly with the seasoning.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a separate bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried rosemary or thyme, and a pinch of salt and black pepper to ensure even seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned chicken wings and potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Keep them slightly separated to promote even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40 to 45 minutes. Flip the wings and potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): If you desire extra crispy wings and potatoes, broil them for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of roasting while closely monitoring to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving to add a fresh and colorful touch to the dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the seasoning for a few hours or overnight before baking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, buffalo sauce, or garlic aioli for added flavor.
- Ensure the wings are patted dry thoroughly to maximize crispiness during baking.
- Using baby potatoes helps them cook evenly and get crispier; you can substitute with small red or fingerling potatoes if preferred.
- Keep an eye on the broil step to prevent burning; this is optional but enhances the texture.
