Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup chipotle sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for perfectly baked wings.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the chipotle sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Marinate Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade, making sure each wing is fully coated with the spicy mixture for maximum flavor.
  4. Bake Wings: Place the wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness and thorough cooking.
  5. Rest: After baking, let the wings rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and the wings to remain juicy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, then serve the wings hot and enjoy their smoky, spicy flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce based on your heat preference.
  • Use fresh cilantro just before serving for the best flavor and color.
  • Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing to complement the smoky spice.
  • Leftover wings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
