Ingredients

3 pounds of chicken wings, cleaned and pat dry
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

2 teaspoon Badia complete seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon rosemary

1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 small onion, sliced
1/2 small red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 small green bell pepper, sliced

6 tablespoon unsalted butter, sliced into 6 pieces

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: In a large deep bowl, combine the chicken wings with seasoned salt, Badia complete seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, extra virgin olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly so the wings are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 3: Transfer the seasoned wings to a large, deep baking dish. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper over the wings.
Step 4: Place the slices of butter evenly on top of the vegetables.
Step 5: Bake uncovered for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Baste the wings every 20 minutes with the pan juices to keep them moist and flavorful. The wings are done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 6: If you want extra color and crispiness, broil the wings for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Step 7: Remove the wings from the oven, baste once more with the pan juices, serve, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce to the seasoning mix.

Use fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for more vibrant flavor, or substitute with dried if fresh isn’t available.
Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic Southern experience.
If you prefer crispier wings, finish under the broiler while keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Storage

Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place wings in an oven-safe dish and warm at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. Avoid microwaving to keep the skin crispy.

How to Serve
