# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Poultry

01 - 2 lbs chicken wings, joints separated and tips removed

→ Seasoning and Aromatics

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

08 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly grease it.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure even coating.
03 - Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to allow for crisping.
04 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the wings halfway through cooking. Continue until wings are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
05 - Remove wings from the oven. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the wings and serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For best results, use fresh garlic and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
