👉🏻Crispy baked chicken wings recipe

We love the crunchy, juicy deliciousness of these baked chicken wings – the perfect balance of tenderness and crispiness! Especially when they’re slathered in your favorite sauce. Some chicken wing recipes call for coating the wings in baking powder before cooking, but we find that simply coating them in oil and seasonings works best for getting crispy oven-baked chicken wings – Sometimes simple is better!

👉🏻How to make crispy baked chicken wings

Baking chicken wings in the oven is super easy! First, we combine the spices, then mix them with chicken and oil. We spread the chicken wings onto a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes at 340ºF (170ºC). Expert tip: we preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and immediately lower the temperature when popping the chicken wings. This locks in moisture and flavor, ensuring nice, crispy skin!

👉🏻Instructions

1. To make the baked chicken wings: In a small bow or shallow plate, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, Cayenne, pepper, salt, and instant chicken stock.

2. Arrange the chicken wings in a large salad bowl, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with the spice mix. Mix thoroughly so the chicken is coated. Allow to rest for 30 minutes; overnight in the refrigerator is best. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and set the rack to the middle position.

3. When ready to bake, spread the chicken wings on a rimmed baking sheet (you can line it with foil or parchment paper).

4. Place the baking sheet with the wings in the oven and reduce the temperature to 340ºF (170ºC) for 50 minutes to 1 hour. You can flip the wings at mid-cooking time if you like.

5. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Let rest for 5 minutes. This will help the baked chicken wings retain more of their crispiness. Garnish with lemon slices and cilantro if you like. Enjoy! 😉
