Recipe Day: Baked Party Wings

Time

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

• 1/2 bag of frozen chicken wings (still connected wings will cook better, but pre-separated is fine)
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• garlic powder
• smoked paprika
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Thaw wings in advance and pat dry with paper towels. Bring wings up to room temperature before preparing to keep butter from congealing later.
2. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking tray with foil and place a drip rack on it.
3. Melt a stick of butter in a small pot on the stove. Roll each wing in butter and place on the drip rack.
4. Season each wing with salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika then flip over. Optionally spoon additional melted butter on the unseasoned side if your heart likes to live dangerously. Then, add more seasoning.
5. Bake in oven for 30 minutes at 400F. Then, reduce temperature to 175F and bake for another 30 minutes. (Wings can be eaten at the halfway point, but the extra 30 minutes gives a good balance of crispy outside and juicy inside).
