- Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe: Simple Easy Menu In Less Than An Hour
Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe – Yesterday, the weather in northern Virginia was sunny but rather chilly. With drenching rain forecast for the coming weekend, we took advantage of the afternoon to cut the grass, weed the flowerbeds and generally reclaim the garden.
Suddenly reminded of the late hour, a certain someone suggested the following dinner menu with a bellowing “How about crispy roasted chicken wings for dinner?” question from somewhere in the back yard.
in a hurry? Select from any of these super spice combinations. I’ve used all of them for grilling or roasting chicken wings but this one is my favorite!
Oven Baked Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe For Dinner!
Regardless of the requested menu items, dinner would require a shopping trip to the nearest supermarket for a family pack of chicken wings and ingredients for tasty side dishes.
Potato salad from the deli counter sounds like the quickest way to complete the menu.
However, I know from experience that by early evening, none of these salads looks particularly appetizing or fresh.
The deli choices have been out in the open, un-refrigerated, far too long.
Here is an idea! I will prepare a variation of our favorite old-fashioned potato salad along with a side of raw veggies.
The potato salad will taste fresher made from scratch and with familiar ingredients.
It will also be prepared in record time – in other words in less time than it takes the wings to get golden brown.
Following are the steps used to prepare the oven baked garlic chicken wings and the potato salad.

Pick the best and the nearest of your neighborhood supermarkets where you know you can find all the required ingredients for your recipe. Do not waste time driving to another or even several markets.
Every market offers a family pack of chicken wings. They average in weight between four to more than 5 pounds. National brands such as Perdue® offer chicken “drummettes” and “wingettes”. These are very expensive.
At the supermarket:
- A 4 1/2 pound family pack of whole wings (you can always use OXO poultry shears to remove the wing tip)
- A pack of clean, ready to steam “in the bag” potatoes
- 2 bunches of scallions and some parsley
Already Have Potatoes?
Already have potatoes in the pantry? Why not use them?
When I am in a hurry, I often steam potatoes in the microwave but these little bags are the best thing since sliced bread.
Not only can you can steam vegetables (potatoes too) but once you are done cooking in the bag, seal it, refrigerate it and use it again!
To make these bags even more interesting, you can use them in the Instant Pot® and boil food in dishwasher safe, BPA free leak proof bags. All around winner in my kitchen!
From the pantry:
- Jumbo, 2.5 gallon size zip lock slider bag
- Robust flavored olive oil
- Caesar salad dressing (my favorite)
- Garlic & Herb Seasoning
Wingettes are the first and second sections of the wings. They usually come in one to one and half-pound packs as dumettes or flats.
Forget about those for today. If there are any leftovers from the family pack, pack them up in individual portions to become the next day’s lunch.
The quickest way to slice off the wing tip is with one stroke of a heavy duty meat cleaver.
Take my word for it – even the best kitchen shears will become a “pain” before you are done with the pack of wings.
