  • to taste salt and black pepper To taste for veggies

For Serving

  • 1 cup cooked white rice To serve as a hearty side dish

Instructions

Marination

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried thyme, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the wings are well-coated and marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the broccoli and carrot slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.

Bake

  • Place the marinated chicken wings on another baking sheet. Bake both the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Flip the wings and stir the vegetables halfway through cooking for even baking.

Cook the Rice

  • Prepare the white rice according to package instructions.

Serve

  • Plate the chicken wings alongside the roasted broccoli and carrots. Serve hot with a generous helping of rice.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, consider broiling them for a few minutes at the end of baking. Marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight for more flavor.
