Absolutely! Here’s a simple and delicious Oven-Baked Chicken Wings recipe — crispy, flavorful, and easy to make 🍗🔥.
Oven-Baked Chicken Wings
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cayenne for heat
For the Sauce (Optional)
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Wings
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels (this helps them get crispy).
- Toss wings in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne until evenly coated.
2. Bake the Wings
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top (optional for extra crispiness).
- Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack.
- Bake 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are golden and crispy.
3. Make the Sauce (Optional)
- In a small bowl, mix hot sauce, melted butter, and honey.
- Toss baked wings in the sauce until coated.
4. Serve
- Serve hot with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Perfect for game day, parties, or a weeknight dinner.
Tips & Variations
- Extra crispy: Pat wings completely dry, and bake on a rack so air circulates.
- Flavor twist: Try BBQ sauce, teriyaki glaze, or lemon pepper seasoning instead of buffalo-style.
- Make ahead: Wings can be baked, cooled, and frozen. Reheat in oven at 400°F for 10–15 minutes.
If you want, I can also give a “super crispy, no-fry oven wings” version that rivals fried wings but stays healthier.
