These spicy baked chicken wings are a flavorful and healthier alternative to traditional fried wings, perfect for any gathering or casual dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Using foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, cracked pepper, cayenne, cumin, vinegar, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
Ensure the butter is fully melted for a smooth marinade.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and place them in the marinade. Toss to coat evenly.
Drying the wings helps the marinade adhere better.
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the wings are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and crispy.
Flipping the wings ensures even crispiness on both sides.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
