These Zesty Garlic Herb Chicken Wings are a flavorful twist on a classic favorite, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
Lining the baking sheet with foil makes cleanup a breeze.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl.
Drying the wings helps them crisp up better in the oven.
Season the wings with salt, pepper, and paprika, tossing to coat evenly.
Ensure all wings are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Spacing the wings out ensures they cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Flipping the wings halfway ensures even cooking on both sides.
While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the minced garlic and ranch seasoning mix.
Stirring the sauce continuously prevents the garlic from burning.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a clean mixing bowl and pour the sauce over them.
Toss the wings gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
Pair with a fresh salad or vegetable sticks for a complete meal.
