Carl’s Baked Chicken Wings
I am usually one to deep-fry chicken wings. I had heard good things about baked wings, and gave it a shot. They are much tastier than deep fried wings! When you deep fry, all the chicken flavor goes out into the oil, and all the oil flavor overwhelms the chicken. Sure, deep fried wings are crispy, but you can make them crispy in the oven also. When baked, all of the flavor stays on the wing. Mmmmmm…
I start with a dozen wing parts. I get them at the grocery store already cut up into sections minus the tips. You can also get complete wings and do your own cutting. Dump them in a big bowl, pour over some olive oil, grated Romano cheese, salt, pepper, and and crushed garlic. You can use garlic powder as well, if you like. Mix thoroughly with your hands, tongs, spatulas, or what have you. I have had the best results baking directly on a cookie sheet. They tend to get crispier, but it’s harder to clean the cookie sheet afterword. Lately, I’ve taken to using parchment paper. Bake them at 400F for 30 minutes , flip the wings, rotate the pans, and put them back in for another 20 to 30 minutes.
Baked Wings are Delicious!
