These peppered chicken wings are a flavorful and easy-to-make appetizer perfect for game days, parties, or any casual gathering. The combination of spices creates a delightful kick, while the crispy skin ensures a satisfying crunch. Bake or fry them for a tasty treat that everyone will love!

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking the wings. If frying, heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy texture.
  3. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
  4. Bake or Fry:
    • To Bake: Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
    • To Fry: Carefully place the wings in the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve: Transfer the cooked wings to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Enjoy your delicious peppered chicken wings!
