If you’re a fan of us on Facebook, then you know that I
(Marie Antoinette) just moved back to Portland.
I’m so excited! With my baby due
in November, it was a great move for my husband and I to make so we can get
away from some of the craziness of NYC.
Don’t get me wrong, it was a great experience and the food was
FANTASTIC! But Portland has a lot to
offer and I’m ready to explore. First
stop…my new kitchen :)
One of our Facebook fans requested that I share my Basic Roasted Chicken Wings recipe. This was
one of the first dishes I made after moving to Portland because it was a
no-hassle dish that requires little effort.
No one wants to deal with cooking complex meals while unpacking. What I love about these is they are very
simple to make, are versatile – you can season them with just about anything,
and they are better for you than fried chicken wings. With this recipe, you’ll get spicy wings with a crispy skin. Just ask my husband! When he eats these, he sucks the wing tips because
they are so yummy. I’m gonna try these
as a base for buffalo wings next since I normally fry my buffalo wings “naked”
(no flour or breading).
Basic Roasted Chicken Wings
chicken wings
seasoning salt
garlic powder
onion powder
ground black pepper
smoked paprika
crushed red pepper
dried parsley
extra-virgin olive oil
cooking spray
(amounts are to your liking)
Heat oven to 425F. Tuck wing tips behind drummettes (see picture). This prevents the wing tips from drying out and allows the wings to rest flat on the pan.
Sprinkle chicken generously with all seasonings on each
side. Drizzle olive oil over wings. Using your hands, rub spice and oil mixture
over chicken and into crevices.
Tip: The oil allows
for the skin to develop a nice, crispy texture.
Soggy skin is a big no-no in our house.
Place wings on a roasting rack or broiler pan coated in
cooking spray. Cook about 10-15 minutes and
then flip chicken to cook on other side.
Chicken is done when skin is brown and crisp.
Feel free to try different spices and let us know what works
best for you. Try anything! We love
hearing new ideas!
