Crispy Baked Chicken Wings recipe offers a perfectly crunchy and flavorful treat that is easy to prepare and healthier than traditional fried wings. Coated with a blend of aromatic spices and baked to golden perfection, these wings are ideal for game days, parties, or a tasty snack any time.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings

Seasoning & Coating

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to allow air circulation and even cooking for crispy skin.
  2. Coat Wings with Oil: In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings and olive oil. Toss thoroughly to ensure each wing is evenly coated with oil, which helps the skin crisp up without frying.
  3. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and baking powder. This seasoning blend adds flavor and promotes crispiness.
  4. Apply Seasoning: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled chicken wings and toss until all wings are well coated with the dry blend, ensuring an even distribution of spices.
  5. Arrange Wings on Rack: Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack atop the baking sheet. Make sure the wings do not touch each other, allowing hot air to circulate and crisp the skin evenly.
  6. Bake Wings: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure that both sides become golden brown and crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove wings from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. This resting time helps the skin crisp up further and makes them easier to handle before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use baking powder (not baking soda), which helps dry out the skin.
  • If you prefer spicier wings, increase the cayenne pepper or add a pinch of chili powder.
  • Make sure wings are fully thawed and patted dry before coating to maximize crispness.
  • Using a wire rack prevents wings from sitting in their own juices, resulting in crispier texture.
  • Leftover wings can be reheated in the oven at 400°F (205°C) for 10 minutes to retain crispiness.
