Chicken wings baked to crispy perfection! Get the easiest recipe for juicy, golden wings with bold flavors—perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Chicken Wings – About 2 pounds of pre-cut wings (drumettes and flats). If you’re using drumsticks or thighs instead, just adjust the seasoning and baking time accordingly.
- Baking Powder or Cornstarch – This is the magic ingredient that pulls moisture from the skin, making the wings extra crispy.
- Salt & Pepper – The foundation of all good seasoning.
- Spices – A mix of rosemary, dried oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder for maximum flavor. This combo pairs perfectly with crispy chicken.
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine all the spices to make your flavor-packed seasoning mix.
Lay the chicken wings on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat them completely dry. The drier, the crispier!
Toss the wings in a large bowl, sprinkle the seasoning mix over them, and stir until every wing is coated evenly.
Place the wings on a lined baking sheet, making sure they have plenty of space so they crisp up instead of steaming.
Pop the wings into a preheated oven at 400°F and bake for 1 hour, flipping them every 20 minutes to get that even golden crisp.
For an extra-crispy finish, crank the heat up for the last 5 minutes before pulling them out.
Notes
- For extra-crispy wings, let them rest in the fridge uncovered for at least 1 hour before baking.
- Don’t skip the wire rack! It helps the heat circulate, making the wings crisp up evenly.
- If using frozen wings, thaw them completely and pat them dry before seasoning.
