Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 10 to 12 chicken wings, trimmed and patted dry
Vegetables and Potatoes:
- 1 1/2 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal roasting temperature for maximum crispiness.
- Create a flavor-packed coating for chicken wings by thoroughly massaging olive oil and aromatic spices including salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder into the meat, allowing the seasonings to penetrate deeply.
- Transform baby potatoes into a complementary side dish by gently coating them with olive oil, fragrant thyme, earthy rosemary, salt, and pepper, ensuring even distribution of seasonings.
- Strategically position chicken wings and potatoes on a baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer to promote optimal air circulation and guarantee uniform cooking.
- Roast the ingredients for approximately 25-30 minutes, executing a mid-cooking rotation to ensure balanced browning and crispiness on all surfaces, monitoring until chicken achieves a golden exterior and potatoes reach tender perfection.
- Elevate the presentation by scattering freshly chopped parsley over the dish, adding a vibrant burst of color and subtle herbaceous notes, then serve immediately to maintain peak temperature and texture.
Notes
- Ensure chicken wings are patted completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy texture.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, which can cause steaming instead of roasting and reduce the golden-brown color.
- Use a meat thermometer to check chicken wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption and perfect doneness.
- For a gluten-free option, confirm all spices are certified gluten-free and use alternative seasonings like herbs de Provence or za’atar for variety.
