Black Pepper and Garlic Chicken Wings

We've gotten in the habit of buying whole chickens and breaking them down. Usually the thighs and breasts get used quickly, but the drumsticks and wings occasionally collect in the freezer. This is a great, low-effort dinner for using up those pieces. It may seem like a lot of garlic and pepper, but I promise it's not too much. I added drumsticks to the recipe below and started those in the oven 25 minutes before the wings and lowered the temperature to 425.
