Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
Deliciously crispy chicken wings baked to perfection, coated in flavorful seasonings without the mess of frying.
Equipment
- Baking Sheets
- Mixing Bowl
- Wire Rack (optional)
Ingredients
- 3 lb. chicken wings split with tips removed
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter
- 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1 tsp. of any other type of salt)
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. paprika regular or smoked, depending on your preference
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil. If using wire racks, place them on top to allow heat circulation.
- Toss the chicken wings in a large bowl with the melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- For extra crispiness, lower the oven temperature to 170°F and bake for an additional 30-60 minutes.
- Transfer the wings to a serving plate and serve hot, plain or with your favorite dipping sauces.
