No, I am not trying to blow my own trumpet, or ok, maybe only a little bit, but seriously, these extra cripsy oven baked chicken wings are baked to perfection! Oh, my! If I could even impress my husband, they must be really good! Well, not sure about impressed, but I took his” oh, yeah, they are really good” like the biggest compliment ever. A big round of applause for me!!!

If it funny actually how I rarely bake chicken wings, although they are not only cheap, but also finger-licking good. I did try a few times in restaurant some good chicken wings, but at home I am usually a chicken breast or thighs girl. Now, things have changed, someone is going to be baking loads of chicken wings from now on.

Chicken Wings – the best finger food for every party or celebration

Do you know what, once again it was proved that the best flavours come from simple ingredients. A few ugly-looking chicken wings, a bit of salt, a bit of pepper, some garlic powder, a tiny bit of paprika, and ta-daahh: the best appetizer in the world!!!

Game day, party, picnic, family gathering, you name it! Chicken wings to the rescue, they are great for every occasion. And, the most important party of the year, the New Year’s Eve party! Surely, you must have a big batch of chicken wings ready!

How do you make crispy chicken wings in the oven?

Wait, I have not told you about the secret ingredient to get these beauties extra crispy. It’s the plain and boring baking powder. It does sound weird, I know, but trust me, you must use it!!!

Chicken wings can be so fatty, I could not believe my eyes that they could release fat taking into account that no oil whatsoever was used to toss them in.

So, while the meat itself stays nice and tender, the skin crisps up and becomes so yummy. Does baking powder make chicken wings crispy? Yes, but that’s not all.The oven temperature is also essential.

How long to bake wings for and at what temperature?

After you coat the chicken wings with the baking powder and seasoning, set the oven at a lower temperature, 150 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake them first for 30 minutes.

The lower temperature will allow the fat to break, and after the 30 minutes, increase the temperature to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for a further 35 to 45 minutes until they are beautifully golden and crispy.

You do have to turn them on the other side before you increase the temperature, just to make sure they are baked nicely on both sides. Another good idea is to line a baking tray with nonstick paper and place the chicken wings on a rack that goes on top of the tray. Trust me, you will thank me for that, you really don’t want the oven all messy and smokey from that fat dripping from the wings.

Are baked chicken wings healthy?

Definitely! While in most cases I agree that fried food is tasty, these wings actually taste a lot nicer baked. I can’t possibly image them being drenched in a lot of oil, they would be way too greasy and oily.

Baking is the right way, it so is! I know, it does take longer, but in the end you will realise the wait was so worth it! So if you want healthy and easy baked chicken wings, you are in the right place. Another recipe that I loved was my Homemade chicken nuggets recipe, where the nuggets had been baked rather than fried.

Again, a smashing success! Healthier options are not always boring! Not at all, healthy recipes can be so delicious and easy to make. Any sauce goes well with these wings, I know many people go for the Buffalo sauce, but I am a simple girl, I prefer the good old ketchup. Don’t get me wrong, they are tasty too without any sauce whatsoever, but you know, just in case.

The garlic and paprika can also be left out, just salt and pepper work here too, but I love the kick they get if you do use them. Now, let’s have some extra crispy baked chicken wings with garlic and paprika, they are calling my name!

    They look absolutely delicious! Chicken wings tend to get “poor relation” treatment in comparison to thighs or even drumsticks but I think they make a perfect little snack. Your recipe is super scrumptious and I will definitely be trying it. Pinned! x

    Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly! Simple recipes most always taste better than any recipe with complicated cooking instructions and/or a long list of ingredients. I love to cook food that is rustic and homestyle. And, your wings look delightfully delicious!

      Thank you very much, l am very happy the wings were enjoyed by everyone. I’m afraid l’m not sure if they would work the same way on a gas grill, the timing would be different. I do understand how tough it gets in summer time with the oven on, the kitchen becomes a proper sauna.

    I was thinking about trying this. Are the racks necessary?

    Reply
    • Daniela Anderson says

      July 26, 2017 at 5:03 am

      Thank you for your comment! The racks are useful as the fat from the wings can drip onto the tray, but if you don’t want to use them, the wings can be placed straight onto a tray. You can just remove the excess fat from the tray. I hope this helps.

    I did this in the most hit or miss way and they were still perfect! I read several recipes and didn’t copy them so I thought this one said both flour and baking powder and a few spices so I used about 1/3 cup of spelt flour, about 1 T baking powder, plus garlic powder, onion powder and salt/pepper, 1 T or so of paprika. I shook the dried stuff in a paper bag then added three whole wings at a time, shaking and placing on the foil/sprayed baking sheet–6 wings in my package. I left them whole because they were for dinner, not appetizers and I didn’t care. I baked at about 250 degrees for about 25 mins then at 450 for about 20 mins then turned and about 20 mins more till they were darkish
    brown and seemed quite done. I trusted that they would still be moist inside and they were! Delicious…and I am not
    a big fan of chicken, but I will make these often and refer friends to your recipe….thank you! Who knew about the baking powder!
