Ingredients
1 pack of whole Chicken Wings, 1 pack of bone in Chicken Thighs ( optional, choose your favorite part of chicken to mix, or use just one pack)
Zesty or regular Italian dressing
1 yellow onion (optional)
1 bell pepper (optional)
parchment paper , aluminum foil (optional)
Directions
- Clean chicken, rinse with cool water and pat dry, before seasoning.
- Season chicken with the seasonings I used above, or your own seasoning blend. I used at least 1 tbsp of the seasonings.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Add Italian dressing, massage into the seasoned chicken. I don’t measure the dressing, at least 2-3 squirts.
- Place chicken in a oven safe baking dish, I align my baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil before adding chicken. I suggest adding chicken skin facing down first.
- Cover chicken with lid or aluminum foil, bake in the oven for 1 hour, check chicken at about 45-50 minutes. I move my chicken around and make sure juices are flowing on the chicken pieces. At 1 hour flip chicken over to skin side and bake uncovered for 30 -35 minutes.
