Learn how to make ultra-crispy baked chicken wings in your oven. These wings are perfect for game day or any party, and require no frying. We focus on simple techniques for maximum crispiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for crispiness.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
  4. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Ensure the wings are not touching each other.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes.
  6. Flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 10 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • Using baking powder helps to dry out the skin and create a crispier texture.
  • Ensure your wings are completely dry before seasoning.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary to allow air to circulate.
  • Experiment with different dry rubs or toss the cooked wings in your favorite sauces.
  • These wings are a great alternative to fried wings and fit well into a meal planning strategy for game day.
