Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, finely grated)
  • Dried oregano (1 tablespoon)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Chicken wings (2 pounds)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they're fully coated with the oil and seasoning mixture. Ensure every wing is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out so they don't touch. This helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken wings are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. To check for doneness, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
  6. Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute for a more tender bite.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
