Crispy Baked Chicken Wings Recipe
Learn how to make crispy baked chicken wings in the oven with these easy steps. Works perfectly every time.
Servings: 10 whole wings (approximately)
Calories: 202kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings separated and wing tips removed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Extra seasonings as desired – I used 2 tablespoons Homemade Creole Seasoning
Instructions
- Pat the wings as dry as you can get them. This will help with the crispiness.
- Set the wings into a large bowl and season with baking powder, salt, and your preferred seasonings. Toss to get them nice and coated. The baking powder helps with the crispiness. See the discussion above. For extra dryness, cover the wings and refrigerate them overnight to draw out even more moisture.
- Heat oven to 250 degrees F (120 C). Set the wings onto a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Flip the wings.
- Increase oven heat to 425 degrees F (220 C) and bake another 30 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the skins are nice and crispy. If you'd like, you can hit them with the broiler for a couple minutes for an extra blast of crispiness.
- Serve as is, or toss them with your favorite wing sauce. Try my Homemade Buffalo Sauce Recipe. It rocks!
