Amazing Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings
Description
The Amazing Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings recipe starts by seasoning a large batch of chicken wings with a balanced mix of salt and crushed black pepper, ensuring each wing is well covered. Baking at 450 degrees Fahrenheit crisps the skin effectively, giving the wings a satisfying crunch. The addition of sesame oil sautéed with garlic and green onions introduces a rich, fragrant element that complements the peppery profile. Chili flakes are optional for those who prefer added heat.
The method involves coating the wings thoroughly before baking, then enhancing them by tossing in the garlic-infused sesame oil off the heat, so the fresh and bold flavors permeate the wings without becoming bitter. The result is textured, with crispy edges and juicy meat inside, boosted by the aromatic garlic and onion oil mixture.
These wings can be served as a party appetizer or a flavorful snack. The seasoning blend is straightforward but effective, making the recipe suitable for cooks who want a direct approach to bold-flavored chicken wings without complex marinades or sauces.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings party size, approx. 36 wings
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 4 teaspoons black pepper crushed
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 5 cloves garlic chopped
- 4 green onions diced
- chili flakes optional but the heat is nice!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine salt and pepper together in a bowl. Place chicken wings on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle the wings with the salt and pepper, then shake on the baking tray to cover completely.
- Bake for 15 minutes then turn and bake for another 15-20 minutes until crispy and cooked through. We like our wings very crispy.
- As soon as the wings are close to being done, heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat then add the garlic and onions. (jalapeno as well if you are adding it in.)
- Cook until the garlic has browned slightly.
- Remove chicken wings from oven and place in a large bowl.
- Toss the chicken wings with the garlic oil until completely coated.
- Place on a serving platter, spooning any leftover garlic oil over the top.
- Serve and enjoy!
