Baked Smoked Paprika Chicken Wings
About 30 chicken wings
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 3 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1½ – 3 teaspoons chili powder
- 1½ teaspoons onion powder
- 1¾ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1½ teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with foils or parchment papers.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. And mix them well with the paprika mixture.
- Place the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake in the oven 15 minutes. Then turn the other side and continue to cook for another 10 – 13 minutes until cook through. Transfer the wings to a serving plate. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Regular paprika is NOT smoked paprika. It doesn’t have much flavors. Smoked paprika has a sweet and smokey taste which can’t be substitute. I got my smoked paprika in a regular supermarket on the spices section.
- The original recipe comes with a dip, but I found the chicken wings very flavorful and juicy by themselves. No dip is needed.
- There are about 30 small wings in 3 pounds of chicken wings. It is just right for 2 people for dinner if chicken wings are the only dish.
- For the chili powder, 1½ teaspoon is perfect for mild. Adjust to your own taste.
