Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your chicken wings cook evenly and become crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Make sure all wings are well-coated with the oil to help the seasoning adhere.
- Add 3 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning to the bowl. If you prefer a stronger flavor, feel free to add a little more seasoning. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This allows the heat to circulate around the wings, helping them to become crispy.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure there is space between each wing to allow for even cooking.
- Sprinkle salt to taste over the wings. Be cautious with the salt, as the everything bagel seasoning may already contain salt.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and become golden brown.
- If you like your wings extra crispy, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once the wings are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven. If desired, drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the wings for a touch of sweetness that complements the savory flavor of the seasoning.
- Let the wings cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their crispiness.
- Serve the everything bagel chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese, and enjoy!
Tips
- For maximum crispiness, use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate around the wings.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each wing some breathing room to ensure even cooking and perfect crispness.
- If you want extra flavor intensity, mix some additional everything bagel seasoning with a bit of olive oil to create a more concentrated coating.
- Use fresh, high-quality everything bagel seasoning for the most robust flavor profile.
- For an extra golden-brown finish, brush the wings with a light layer of honey during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Let the wings rest for a few minutes after cooking to help them retain their crispy exterior and juicy interior.
