Make the best homemade chicken wings that rival restaurant quality. This easy oven baked wings recipe uses a simple technique to guarantee crispy skin and juicy meat every time you cook them. Perfect for game day or your next party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes separated)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of your favorite sauce (Buffalo, Honey Garlic, or BBQ)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire cooling rack on top of the foil. This setup helps air circulate for crispier results.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chicken wings.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This is your dry rub.
  4. Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated with the dry rub mixture.
  5. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Do not let the wings touch each other.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Flip the wings over. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and very crispy.
  9. If you are using a sauce, remove the wings from the oven. Place them in a clean, large bowl. Drizzle with your chosen sauce and toss quickly to coat.
  10. Serve your easy chicken wings immediately with dipping sauces.

Notes

  • For the crispiest wings, ensure the baking powder is fresh and you pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning.
  • If you want a saucy finish, toss the wings immediately after removing them from the oven while they are hot.
  • For an even crispier texture, you can broil the wings for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
