Ingredients
- 20 frozen chicken wings (a mix of drumettes and flats)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- to taste your favorite sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, or Teriyaki)
Instructions
Stepwise Method: Frozen Chicken Wings
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help achieve that crispy exterior that everyone loves.
- Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. This also helps prevent the wings from sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, add the frozen chicken wings. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the wings. Toss them until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. You want them to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- If you like your wings saucy, now is the time to brush them with your favorite sauce. Return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to let the sauce set.
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness!
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, pat them dry before seasoning and consider broiling for a couple of minutes at the end.
- Store cooked wings in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
