Ingredients

CHICKEN WINGS:

  • 2 lbs. organic chicken wings, disjointed
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

MARINATE THE CHICKEN WINGS:

  • In a large bowl, add your freshly cleaned + rinsed chicken wings along with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, mustard powder, and cornstarch, mixing everything together until chicken is fully coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. NOTE: For best results, it's best to marinate chicken overnight in the refrigerator or for up to 2 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a greased skillet) and a wire rack for the best crispy results. NOTE: be sure to generously spray the wire rack to ensure that wings don't stick.

BAKE THE CHICKEN:

  • Lay each chicken wing side by side onto the baking sheet (about an inch apart). Repeat until all chicken wings are assembled. Bake chicken wings for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden.

WHIP TOGETHER THE SAUCE + TOSS WINGS:

  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter and let it melt. Then add in the garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.Add the chopped parsley or chimichurri and whisk everything together until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Add the crispy baked chicken wings in a bowl with the sauce and toss them until coated. NOTE: You can alway spoon or brush that sauce atop wings also, if desired.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite side or dipping sauce.
  • Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • STORAGE: Any leftovers can be kept in a tightly sealed container and refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit or microwave when ready to serve.
  • GLUTEN-FREE OPTION:To make these wings GF, just ensure that you use the best alternative to cornstarch is arrowroot starch or Gf flour.
