Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 piece lime
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for even cooking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and ensures crispy wings.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly with the taco seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they are crispy and golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, zest the lime and finely chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Sprinkle the lime zest and chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Serve the Taco Party Wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa, and enjoy!
