Baked Crispy Chicken Wings are golden, crunchy, and flavorful wings made entirely in the oven. With a simple seasoning mix and optional sauce toss, they’re perfect for game days, family dinners, or any craving for crispy wings without frying.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon onion powder or cayenne pepper
  • Optional: wing sauce, buffalo sauce, or BBQ sauce for tossing

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Check for golden brown, crispy wings and remove from oven.
  6. If desired, toss wings in sauce before serving; otherwise, serve plain.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the wings for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
  • Try different seasonings like lemon pepper, Cajun, or smoked paprika for variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes to maintain crispness.
