Garlic Pepper Seasoned Chicken Wings Recipe | Fitness Diet

 If you need a quick dinner idea, these garlic pepper season chicken wings will do the trick. I roll the seasoning to each marinated wing ( do this overnight for best results). From there you have two ways to cook them – by oven or grilling. I chose the oven ( takes a total of 45 minutes) because I didn’t have to be as attentive, but grilling takes slightly less time (approx. 20-30 minutes).

If you are going the oven route, apply a non-stick spray to a sheet pan and place the chicken wings on it. Pre-Heat the oven to 450F degrees. When you are ready to bake, you will cook the wings for 20 minutes on one side and rotate the wings to the other side, cooking more for 15 minutes. Basically you will want to cook your chicken wings until they are 165F degrees is reached by a thermometer.

If you are grilling, pre-heat your grill on med-high heat for 10 minutes then reduce to med-heat to grill the wings. Keep in mind flats will cook faster than drum and you will have to turn often, cooking approx. 20-30 minutes.

Here is a list of seasoning I used ( use according to your health and taste preferences):

  • Sugar ( or honey… 2 teaspoons of honey is all you really need) – I use honey as I try to stay away from artificial sugar. Or you can simplly buy a honey marinade to save you time.
  • Sea Salt ( don’t over do it)
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Black Pepper (1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper)
  • Garlic
  • Chopped Onion ( pick your favorite…a traditional choice are green onions when you want a garnish)
  • Paprika
  • Your choice of oil ( I love using extra virgin olive oil or safflower oil for chicken)
  • 2 pounds of chicken wings is enough to feed a family of four ( can get great deals on quality chicken at Costco )

For best results, marinate chicken overnight. Feel free to drizzle fresh lemon over chicken once you finish baking or grilling. Hope you enjoy this finger-licking treat. Simple to make , full of flavor and a healthy eat for the entire family. Use the below hashtags to share with us your chicken wing results as well as your own wing recipes! Enjoy!
