Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
2
Prepare the chicken wings by removing the tips and cutting them in half at the joint. While this step is optional, it helps ensure even cooking and enhances the presentation.
3
In a large plastic bag, combine the self-raising flour, onion salt, chicken salt, lemon pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and dried herbs, mixing well.
4
Spray the chicken wings lightly with olive oil-flavored cooking spray to help the flour stick and add crispiness.
5
Working in batches, add about a third of the wings to the seasoned flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake until the wings are thoroughly coated. Remove and place them on the prepared baking trays.
6
Repeat the coating process with the remaining wings, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
7
Once all wings are arranged on the trays, spray them lightly with more cooking spray to further enhance crispiness.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through if desired, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through. They should be crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
9
Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as crispy fries or a fresh garden salad.
