Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them become crispy when baked.
- Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator for the best flavor.
- Bake the Wings: Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chopped herbs if desired, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own.
These garlic and herb wings are sure to impress your guests and satisfy your cravings for something flavorful and delicious!
