Ingredients

2 lbs (900 g) whole chicken wings
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
1 tsp (5 g) salt
1 / 2 tsp (2.5 g) black pepper

Instructions

1. **Prepare the chicken wings:** Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Cut the whole chicken wings into flats and drumettes if desired, and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. **Season the wings:** In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
3. **Bake the wings:** Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
4. **Serve:** Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauces if desired. Enjoy!
