baked wings
These oven-baked wings are perfectly juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside! Achieve extra crispy texture with a few simple steps and common pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken wings split and tips removed, about 18 wings
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Pat wings dry with a paper towel. This is crucial for crispiness.
- Prepare a pan by lining with foil and placing a baking rack on it. Spray the rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss with wings until evenly coated and place on prepared pan. Refrigerate 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) uncovered.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss wings with olive oil in a bowl, ensuring there are no dry spots of flour. Return them back to the prepared pan.
- Bake wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake an additional 15 minutes. If your wings are smoking, remove the foil and add new foil. Cook until crisp and broil for 1 minute each side if extra crispiness is desired.
- Toss with your favorite sauce immediately or serve with dips on the side.
Notes
The key to truly crispy wings is ensuring they are very dry before seasoning and allowing them to refrigerate uncovered. This air-dries the skin, resulting in an incredibly crispy texture when baked. Don't skip the baking powder!
