Baked Salt & Pepper Chicken wings. Super simple. Preheated oven 425 degrees. Toss wings in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season both sides of wings with salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, or until nicely browned. Turn frequently. To make the wings less greasy, place on a baking rack on a sheet pan and then bake.
