A flavorful and satisfying bowl featuring crispy, spicy baked chicken wings served with fresh butter lettuce, carrot ribbons, creamy avocado, crisp celery, tangy blue cheese crumbles, and a simple lemon-olive oil dressing with fresh cilantro.
1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
2. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels. This helps achieve crispiness.
3. In a bowl, toss the dried wings with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and pink salt until evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and cooked through, flipping halfway if desired.
6. While the wings are baking, prepare your bowl components: arrange butter lettuce, carrot ribbons, sliced avocado, and chopped celery in a serving bowl.
7. Once the chicken wings are done, add them to the bowl.
8. Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the bowl.
9. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.
10. Finish with a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
