Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

3 pounds chicken wings, cleaned and pat dry

Seasonings

1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons Badia complete seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon thyme

Other Ingredients

2 tablespoons 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 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into 6 pieces

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the chicken wings.
Season the Wings: 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 until wings are evenly coated with all the spices and oil for deep flavor.
Prepare for Baking: Transfer the seasoned wings to a large deep baking dish. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper evenly around the wings to infuse the dish with fresh vegetable flavors.
Add Butter: Place the 6 pieces of sliced unsalted butter on top of the vegetables and wings, which will melt during cooking and enrich the taste and texture.
Bake the Wings: Bake the wings uncovered for 1 hour and 10 minutes at 375°F. Every 20 minutes, baste the wings with the pan juices to keep them moist and flavorful. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safe consumption.
Optional Broiling: For extra color and a crispy finish, broil the wings for an additional 3 to 4 minutes at the end of baking.
Serve: Remove from oven, baste the wings one final time with the pan juices, then serve hot and enjoy your delicious Southern Oven Baked Whole Chicken Wings!

Notes

Basting every 20 minutes helps keep the wings juicy and flavorful.
Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
Broiling at the end adds beautiful color and crispiness but is optional.
You can adjust the spices to your preference for more or less heat or herb flavor.
Using unsalted butter allows better control of saltiness in the dish.
