Servings: 40 wings
Calories: 1176kcal
Ingredients
- 6 lbs Fresh Chicken Wings or enough to accommodate your number of guests. (This was 2 packages containing 10 whole wings each that I cut up for a total of 40 wing pieces)
- 1/4 c Vegetable Oil
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- Paprika optional, to add extra color to the chicken skin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Begin by preparing the wings by using a knife to slice down the skin between the drumstick and flat part of the wing. Guide your knife through the joint to separate the drumette and flat portion. Remove the tip.
- Add the separated drumette and flat pieces to a large mixing bowl and add the vegetable oil. Toss to coat all of the wings pieces.
- Next, arrange the chicken wings on a lined baking sheet (or on a wire rack placed in a baking sheet).
- Bake for 45-75 minutes or until the skin is crisp as desired.
- Serve wings at game day gatherings along with sauce options, such as buffalo or teriyaki.
- Chicken wings are also traditionally served with carrot and celery sticks with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
