Homemade chicken crispy Salt & Pepper Wings
I love chicken wings. Usually, I make them in the slow cooker with a sauce like my SCD Honey Lime Chicken Wings. However, I had salt & pepper wings recently and I loved them! Who says you need sauce? These are simple, but full of flavor with a crispy skin and tender chicken.
If you’re not up to a marinade, or just want some variety, these wings are perfect for you. They take almost no time to prepare and are a great appetizer or main dish!
What Wings Do You Use?
I like to use the wingettes, which is the drums and flats separated. You could do full wings or even legs or thighs. If you do use a larger section of chicken, add 5 – 10 minutes to the roasting time.
