4 Servings
Ingredients
For the Homemade Ranch Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Chicken Wings:
- 4 tablespoons ranch seasoning divided
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 pounds chicken wings cleaned and thoroughly patted dry
Instructions
Preheat the oven.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil to facilitate easy cleanup.
Prepare the ranch seasoning.
- In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the dried parsley, dill, chives, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir or shake until evenly blended.
Season the chicken wings.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the prepared ranch seasoning, baking powder, and avocado oil. Mix well. Add the chicken wings and toss until they are evenly coated on all sides.
Arrange the wings for baking.
- Place the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is 1 to 2 inches of space between each wing to allow proper air circulation, which helps achieve a crispy exterior.
Bake the chicken wings.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping each wing halfway through the cooking time. Continue baking until the wings are golden brown and crisp.
Finish with additional seasoning and serve.
- Remove the wings from the oven. While they are still hot, sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning evenly over them. Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing or buffalo sauce.
