Crispy Baked Chicken Wings Recipe
These baked chicken wings are crispy, juicy, and delicious, with the right blend of softness and crispiness! Especially when they’re smeared with your favorite sauce. Some chicken wing recipes call for coating the wings with baking powder before cooking, but we believe that just coating them in oil and spices produces the most crispy oven-baked chicken wings – sometimes simple is better!
How To Make Baked Chicken Wings
Baking chicken wings in the oven is really simple! First, we blend the seasonings, then add the chicken and oil. Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes at 340ºF (170ºC). To pop the chicken wings, preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and then decrease the temperature immediately. This preserves moisture and taste, resulting in lovely, crispy skin!

- Arrange the chicken wings in a large salad bowl, spray with oil, and season with the spice mixture. Mix well until the chicken is coated. Allow it rest for 30 minutes; overnight in the refrigerator is ideal. Preheat your oven to 450ºF (230ºC) and arrange the rack in the center.
- When ready to bake, place the chicken wings on a rimmed baking sheet (lined with foil or parchment paper).
- Place the wings on a baking sheet and bake at 340ºF (170ºC) for 50–1 hour. You may turn the wings halfway through cooking if you choose.

Tips For The Best Baked Chicken Wings
- For more spicy and crispy chicken wings, twice the seasonings!
- For extremely crispy and well-done chicken wings, adjust oven to 170ºF (75ºC) after one hour and slow roast for another 30 minutes.
- Feel free to tweak the amounts of the various spices to your preference. We also like to add a dab of spicy sauce to the chicken wings marinade!
- Look for “party style” or “split chicken wings”: the wingettes and drummettes are already separated, saving you time during baking.
- To achieve ideal chicken wings, use a digital thermometer to attain an internal temperature of 165°F (70ºC).
