Chicken wings are dipped in flour and spices, then baked until their skin is nice and crispy. Coat them with some homemade buffalo sauce and your family will devour these Crispy Baked Chicken Wings as quickly as mine did. They are perfect for game day parties, too!
Chicken Wings have been a guilty pleasure of mine for ages. It’s a favorite snack or even meal when I want to really indulge and get a little messy. Buffalo Wings like these are a must-have staple for game day parties especially – everybody love them! Well I happen to love them too but I’m a bit of a wimp with the buffalo sauce. The great thing about these Crispy Baked Chicken Wings is you can control the amount of heat but adding more of less hot sauce.
MY LATEST VIDEOSWe love heading out to Buffalo Wild Wings on hockey night to watch the game and enjoy a big basket of wings. While the kind of crispy chicken wings you get in restaurants are quite tasty, they are also typically deep fried – that’s how they get that crispy skin. Well now you can get that perfect crispy skin at home with my Crispy Baked Chicken Wings!
I’ve made chicken wings before, but I’ve never been able to perfect the crispiness until now. The key? Coat them with a little flour and baking powder! I also added some simple spices, but this little mixture coated over the wings made all the difference. They were delicious!!
Once the wings are coated in the flour mixture, place them on a foil covered cookie sheet that’s been sprayed with cooking spray (don’t forget this step – trust me!). Bake them in a 450 degree oven for about half an hour, turning them about halfway through. You can also place the wings on a baking rack that you set on top of the baking sheet. You’ll still want to flip them for even cooking, but it might make the skin a little crispier (but honestly, I haven’t seen much of a difference).
In the meantime you can make your own hot wing sauce, which is basically just melted butter and hot sauce. If your family likes it spicy, add more hot sauce. Alternatively, you could leave the wings unsauced, but what’s the fun in that? If you’ve got some that like it hot and some that don’t, use two separate bowls to coat the wings. Make the sauce more on the mild side and pour some over the wings in one of the bowls. Then stir more hot sauce into the remaining sauce and pour that over the other bowl of wings to coat.
Of course you’ll want to make sure you have carrot and celery sticks to help cleanse the palette, as well as some creamy Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing for dipping. I actually like to mix the two together for a great flavor.

Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are dipped in flour and spices, then baked until their skin is nice and crispy. Coat them with some homemade buffalo sauce and your family will devour these Crispy Baked Chicken Wings as quickly as mine did. They are perfect for game day parties, too!
Prep
Cook
Total
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- Bottled Cayenne Hot Sauce (like Frank's Red Hot)
- Butter (not margarine)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Rinse chicken wings and trim any excess skin. Do not remove the skin or you will lose the crispiness. Pat chicken dry.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and seasonings. Add chicken and coat with the flour mixture.
- Prepare a large cookie sheet by covering with foil and spraying with cooking spray.
- Arrange chicken on the cookie sheet, at least an inch apart.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning once after about 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. Add about a 1/2 cup of the bottled Cayenne hot sauce and a stick of butter to a small saucepan. Heat on low and stir until butter is melted and sauce begins to bubble. Taste. If the sauce needs more heat go ahead and add some in batches, or add a few dashes of Tabasco.
- Transfer baked chicken wings into a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the crispy baked chicken wings and toss to coat.
- Serve with celery and carrot sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

With all of the snow and ice we’ve been getting lately, I think it’s about time for a movie night around here! These chicken wings and Big Hero 6 sound like the perfect combination for this weekend! #client
oh wow, those are seriously drool worthy!! They look amazing, perfect for snacking while watching a great movie! We love Big Hero 6 around here!!
oh these wings look and sound amazing. Always love when I can achieve the crispy texture without having to fry!
Sounds like such a fun movie night! *fist bump*
oh these wings look so yummy! Hot wings are a favorite around here but I always fry them. I’m excited to be able to get crispy wings in the oven! Can’t wait to try!
These look delicious! Putting them on my must-make list!
My son LOVES wings… Can’t wait to make these for him.
Mmmmm “melt your face off” wings! sounds good! love the movie and now I’m craving wings!
These wings look delicious! Yum!
Those are my favorite! Great movie, my son’s favorite.
Is it 400 or 450?
450 🙂
Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Fahrenheit
Do you think I can bake them on a rack on a cookie sheet?
Yes, that’s actually a great way to do it. My method works well if you don’t have the rack to use.
These are so good! So glad I found this recipe because my husband LOVES them. Only one he will eat now. Thanks!
Candy Sushi????? Do you have a post about that?
Do the wings need to be defrosted first?
Yes they need to be defrosted.
Hello there! I followed your recipe exactly as written (except I paper toweled vegetable oil all over the aluminum foil since I didnt own any cooking spray) and the wings were crispy and delicious. That baking powder really did the trick like you mentioned. My only issue is some of the skin on some of the wings got pulled off the chicken during cooking. Any suggestions you might have to resolve this? Thanks in advance!
Try non-stick aluminum foil.
I cooked them on parchment paper and there was no sticking at all!!
A five star recipe. I made these tonight and their crispiness was perfect. I never liked baked wings because they never came out crispy. Now, I will only bake my wings. Bye bye deep fried wings. Thanks for sharing. Baking powder! Wow
I made these tonight and they were wonderful! Crispy and tasted just like fried chicken! Thanks!!
I’m swooning!! They look all crispy and delicious!
These wings were crispy. I used robin hood gluten free flour mix plus gluten free baking powder. Used parchment paper so they would not stick, under the parchment paper I put a layer of tinfoil to catch any grease. Clean up was easy. Very good wings TY
really surprised at how good these came out! I did 20 min per side and sprayed them with Pam and they were really perfect – better than my fried wings. These are a new family favorite – thank you!
These look delicious, I can’t wait to try. What other sause do u recommend cause I have a 3 year old, and she loves wings just not hot ones?
Thanks April! My kids love these Barbecue flavored wings. You can choose a sweet sauce or a spicy one. https://www.yellowblissroad.com/crispy-baked-barbecue-chicken-wings/
This is going to be an Epicurious review! I didn’t add the chili powder because I’m a purist with certain things like Buffalo wings. I also didn’t use the flour because I was afraid that the wings would have patches of dry white flour on them which happens with other oven fried/baked recipes that I’ve made. Less butter should have used more hot sauce. The hubby liked them A LOT. Will put into my frequently used recipe board on Pinterest. Thanks for sharing. I made baked brown rice, cut up raw veggies, and homemade blue cheese dressing. OH! I also set the smoke alarm off!! LOL!
You are a wing goddess!
Just made these! They look amazing! Used a raspberry bbq sauce towards the end of the cooking time. Added it to both sides and cooked 5 minutes longer.
Silly question, but will the flour bake kind of? How does flour make them crispy without leaving blotchy floured wings?
The fat that renders from the skin of the wings combines with the flour to make it crispy. 🙂
Could you just bake them plain without the flour and seasonings and still get them crispy?
They don’t tend to get as crispy that way. The skin just gets kind of soft.
Hey Kristin,
This recipe is too much. I’m at work salivating. Reckon these would be great with a blue-cheese sauce. Trying them out this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Megan
Thank you SOOOO much Kristin!
I just made these and it is perfect. I just used a baking stone, so the foil is not needed.
The BEST recipe I ever found in pinterest!
I tried to do this and the result was yummy chicken wings! Loved it. I do have a small question though – is there a way to infuse the flavor inside the chicken? I was thinking of marinating it in buffalo sauce for like an hour before coating them in the mixture but not sure it will work. Grateful if anyone can let me know whats the best thing to do. Thanks. 🙂
I haven’t tried that, but it could work. Let me know if you try it!
We have made these several times and everyone loves them! I admit I use a store bought hot sauce but the premise of coating the wings and the baking methods are follewed exactly. So yummy. Definately a keeper that my entire family loves.
oops i forgot to star it! 5 stars for sure.
I have made this a few times and LOVE it! I have been trying to cut back on fried foods and this was perfect. Taste just like fried chicken wings. I have yet to try the buffalo sauce. Wings are amazing without it.
I did try this recipe using chicken tenderloin breast and it wasn’t as good. A tad bit on the dry side.
They were good. But, they weren’t as crispy as I would of liked. Not like they said they’d be.
Sorry to hear that Diane. They always come out super crispy for me. You could try baking them on a baking sheet like this one: http://amzn.to/2bNCOPF. It would eliminate the need to turn them halfway.
Can you use a foil baking sheet
You want to line the baking sheet with foil.
I made these tonight. Super crispy. Actually did 40 minutes, vice 35. Glad I found this alternative to deep fat frying. My son and I loved them.
I was looking for a baked wing recipe because I hate the wimpy baked wings. Love your recipe but I have to eat gluten free. I used Pillsbury Gluten Free Flour exactly as your recipe shows and they turned out fabulous except next time I will try parchment paper since some of the skin stuck to the foil.
That’s great Judith! Thanks for your comment!
I tried this recipe and it was PERFECT!!!!!! I’m going to use the same recipe to make boneless chicken strips. Hopefully they come out the same flavor as bone in. Thank you!!!
Glad you like them! For chicken strips, I would definitely set them on a rack with the baking sheet underneath. That will help them get nice and crispy on both sides.
Hi Kristen, thanks for the reply. I shouldve done what you said. They didn’t come out crispy
These hot wings were fantastic! Every time that I make a hot wing recipe, I’m always disappointed by the outcome because they are either too soggy or too greasy, etc. I followed the recipe almost perfectly, except I turned my oven up to 415 degrees about 30 minutes in. Also, after the wings were fully crispy and cooked I dipped them in my sauce and let them cook for an extra 10 minutes. They were crunchy and delectable. I will use this recipe each and every time I make wings. Thank you SO much for posting.
These are excellent. I follow recipe to the letter and they are incredible each time. Rave reviews every time. I tried the dry ingredients on chicken legs one night and again, a winner. Great job for a well written and delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Just shy of the crisp I was looking for and I even cooked them an extra 10 minutes. I’ll try it again and cook it a little longer. Paired these with a homemade honey sriracha sauce. Made for a tasty lunch.
I have no baking powder will just flour be ok
Hi Nicole, the baking powder helps to make the crispy skin; I haven’t tried it without. It does give it more texture. Without it the flour would be sort of…flat.
2TBS baking powder or 2 tsp?
2 tablespoons
This is a awesome recipe. thanks for sharing this ours turned out great…
simon
I have the wings in the oven right now. Only, I didn’t thaw them first. So bummed. When I grill them, I keep them frozen. Was wondering if you had any idea how these will turn out!?
Never mind! It turned out good! Broiled the wings for 5 minutes each side and they crisped up!
These sound really yummy! gonna give this recipe ago thanks for sharing.
Simon
These were awesome!!! So crispy and delicious. I swapped Frank’s wing sauce because that’s what I had on hand, but besides that I followed the recipe exactly and turned out perfectly. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m making these tonight for the super bowl game. Hope they turn out as well as everyone’s elses.
Making these for dinner but adding Lemon pepper seasoning! Looking forward to it!
Seriously fantastic recipe. I’ve made it multiple times and it turns out crispy and delicious every time. Thank you for sharing!
I’ve made this recipe at least a dozen times. Best chicken wings ever. Sometime we like them plain, just as good as with the heat!
Hubby and I loved your recipe. I seasoned the wings before dipping them in the flour. I also added some dried thyme to the flour mixture. And I didn’t do the sauce. They were crispy and delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Just wanted to drop a few lines and tell you that I just finished eating these wings. All I can say is AWESOME! MY husband and I couldn’t believe they tasted just as good as fried. Thanks so much.
Hi Kristin
what if I don’t have baking powder? please tell me I can omit that ingredient 😊
The baking powder is what helps get that skin nice and crispy. I wouldn’t omit it, but it you must, you should be ok.
This will be my 3rd time making your recipe. I held off making my wings til today because I don’t want to mess up a good recipe. I went and bought all my ingredients to ensure I had more than enough. Thank you Kristin
Awesome Jacklyn! How did you like them?
Have made these, BBQ dinner the wings and made a BBQ spicy maple sauce and they were absolutely awesome.
I just made them & just realized it called for baking powder! I didn’t add & these wings are AMAZEBALLS!
Thank you for making me feel like a bomb-winger-cooler! Haha. So good!
I hope this is true because I forgot baking powder, too. Realized it when I saw it on the counter as I put the wings in the oven! We’ll see how this turns out.
I didn’t even know about the baking powder and use seasoned flour for my wings for the past year in my air fryer, it will be fine. I am going to try adding the baking powder though next time I make wings and see if there is a difference.
Hey, you said to use butter but I only have margarine…. Is that alright?
Usually I’d say you can swap one for the other, but in this instance, I strongly recommend the butter. The margarine just isn’t the same when melted.
Why is the butter necessary?? Can you make without? Trying to keep it healthier. Thanks!
The butter basically “cools” the heat of the sauce and makes it a little creamier. You could just as easily use a difference sauce or leave the sauce out altogether.
Kristin, I just had to leave a comment – which I admittedly never ever do. This recipe is amazing!! I’m stumbled upon it one day while craving some crunchy wings, and I hear a fear of frying things for some reason. I have made it more times than I can remember, and proudly provided your site when asked for the recipe. I did my own spin on the sauce, but it is foolproof!! My boyfriend now swears off any other wings HA!
Quick question, have you tried this coating but in popcorn chicken form? I’m curious to see how that would be! Thanks again!!!
I haven’t tried that, but it would work…just probably wouldn’t be nearly as crispy because there’s no skin. I’d go with a panko breading and then the hot sauce.
These tasted amazing! I made another batch with garlic parmesan sauce and they were great!!
Kristin,
You’ve got some new recipes for pasta salad here. I look forward to trying a couple of them – especially the bowties w/chicken and ranch/hot sauce dressing! It’s amazing how many different sauces or vegetables one can add for a completely different taste. I will try your crispy recipe for the wings as well. Thanks for sharing! Have a great Independence Day weekend!
I am skeptical of the bakibg powder! Is that safe to eat?!
Well you’re cooking it, so yes, it’s fine. Just like in any other baked good.
I think they are confusing it with baking soda?
You’ll probably never see this but yes – you can even drink a mix of baking soda and water – it’s used to prevent kidney stones.
Amazing recipe! Best wings ever! THE family devoured them! Two thumbs up!
Do you use a bag of frozen wings or buy fresh?
I’ve used both since you need to thaw if frozen.
Hey, I’m sorry but you did not say exactly how to make the sauce. You only said 1/2 a bottle but half a bottle of what? I just want to be clear because I do not want make this feeling as if I missed any key steps. Thank you
It’s the bottle cayenne hot sauce that’s listed in the ingredients. I’ve updated the instructions so it’s clear.
OMG!!!!! This IS THE BEST baked wing recipe ever!!!!! They really do turn out very crispy. I think the seasonings in the flour are spot on, and the baking powder is an absolute must. I love Frank’s Wing Sauce, so I used that to season my wings with. My husband was wishing that I had made more!!!!!! (I only made half the recipe to try it out)
Hi, can we use barbecue sauce instead of hot sauce? If yes, should it be drizzled straight from the bottle or prepared with butter a short mentioned in this recipe?
YES! You can use barbecue sauce! Here’s how I did it: https://www.yellowblissroad.com/crispy-baked-barbecue-chicken-wings/
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
BEST oven baked crispy chicken wings EVER. I made these today, I was a little sceptical at first, but the result – AMAZING. Seriously, just like fried. I reckon you could swap out the baking powder for rice flour and you’d get the same result, without that ‘waxy’ baking powder feel on your teeth. Congrats and thanks again, great recipe.
This receipe is great! I didnt use buffalo sauce, just a salad dressing I had on shelf. Crispy and juicy!
Great recipe. Made this for labor day. My family and guest loved it. Instead of doing the sauce with butter, I used store bought hot sauce. Did some with sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. Thanks for the recipe.
So glad you enjoyed them!
Hi! I’d like to marinate my wings for a couple of hours before coating them with flour, baking them, etc. What do you recommend I marinate them in?
Thanks!
Hi! Planning to make these in a few hours. I bought frozen chicken wings. Is that ok?? Should I thaw first or how should I do this?
Sorry I just saw your comment – They would definitely need to be defrosted before baking.
Thanks you
You think will be ok if wings or breasts are skinless to be more healthy?
This method wouldn’t work with breasts. You could remove the skin from the wings but that would be a little time intensive.
Can you re heat these chicken wings and maintain the crispiness ?
I haven’t tried…we just eat them cold! 🙂
Just made these and may I say… Superb! Very versatile to use with any sauce. Who knew baking powder would help crisp these babies up to perfection. Thanks for the recipe!
This is just mouth watering. Have to give credit to the pictures . Am sure this must be really delicious
Very excited to be trying out your recipe right now. I can hear it sizzling in the oven! I have never made hot wings before so I was scared, but after all these comments, I’m feeling very good about it. One question tho. I am making the sauce and am doing it just like you said but I used some hot sauce I bought from a local farmers market. Cayenne & Habenero. The sauce isn’t mixing smoothly with the butter. Is that normal? Thanks so much!
Hmm, I’ve only ever used Frank’s Red Hot so I’m not sure why it’s not working. Might be a different formula?
I’m from Texas and we love our chicken wings!! I make my chicken wings outside on our Weber but there are times weather does not permit so in the oven they go! Love this recipe. I use 1 bottle of Franks hot sauce, 1/2 stick REAL butter and 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar!! Try it!! You’ll love it y’all!!
Hi. Was wondering if you had any nutritional info on these wings? Calories and carbs?
Thanks!
Sorry, I’m not able to provide nutritional information. But you can check out tons of free options online, like my fitness pal.
Wow these look delicious. Love that it takes only 40 minutes and it only uses flour and stuff I have in the kitchen. Bought some wings today, will try this now!!
How come you sauce and the wings looks orange color.Cayenne pepper sauce color is red .Did you use any other sauce which is orange in color.
When you mix the sauce with the butter it lightens in color. And the buffalo sauce on it’s own isn’t bright red.
Just made these for supper tonight! Delicious and crispy! I added Frank’s Red Hot kickin’ BBQ sauce to the sauce recipe.
Would this recipe still work if you marinated the wings before coating and cooking?
They should be dry before coating, so I’m not sure. I would prefer adding a sauce after baking.
These look wonderful from the pictures but I was wondering since I’ll be making the for an older crowd can they be served without the last sauce step? Aren’t they already crispy at that point? That would avoid adding the dairy and having the chicken wings too spicy. Is the final toss in the hot saucy necessary? Thanks.
You can certainly eat these without the sauce.
I hope this is true because I forgot baking powder, too. Realized it when I saw it on the counter as I put the wings in the oven! We’ll see how this turns out.
II was hoping to make these for an upcoming party. I would follow the recipe and then put them in a crockpot. Have you or anyone else done this? I understand they will probably not be as crispy but don’t really have a choice.
Made them without baking powder and still very yummy!!! Thank you!
I have used this recipe 2 days in a row! Last night on chicken wings and today on chicken thighs. My wife LOVES this recipe!!! I literally looked for several days to find the right one to use. This one looked like what I was craving and did not disappoint! AWESOME!!!!
Wow! You truly discovered how to make crispy chicken wings in the oven. These were absolutely amazing! I had to sub Chalula for Louisiana hot sauce because I realized at the last second I was out of it lol! But they were still so good. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
My family LOVES these wings – they were voted “even better than dad’s” — and his are fried, and make such a mess! Love these 🙂 (for the timid, I leave a few of them naked – no hot sauce – and they are equally delicious)
Very easy recipe to follow with amazing results. Never thought I could get crispy wings from the oven this easy. Thanks for the recipe
Made these tonight and they were delicious!!!! Thanks for the recipe and satisfying my craving! Definitely will make them like this from now on.
Just made these but divided them into three and used the buffalo sauce as is, a honey mustard that I whipped up with Hot Honey, and a hoisin/teriyaki sauce (sprinkled those with toasted sesame seeds.) These are awesome.
Great idea!
Are he wings frozen or thawed to start!?
They need to be thawed.
I am baking them right now and my kitchen is filling with smoke! I’m not sure exactly why? I rinsed and patted dry, made the dry rub, coated the wings in the dry ingredients and laid on a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Has this happened to anyone else?
I wonder if maybe there was something on the floor of your oven that had dripped previously? This could cause smoking/burning in the oven.
Hey Kristin,
Does the recipe need to be changed depending on if chicken is frozen or thawed? Wasn’t sure if your recipe used frozen wings or not.
Thanks!
The wings need to be thawed out first.
This was a huge winner! My hubby thought I had ordered out for wings LOL
Delicious and easy to make! They are the best wings ever 😃!!
These are awesome. My family can”t get enough of them. Would this recipe work with chicken cutlets? Love the recipe but not having “wing eating company”. if yes, How long would you bake it for?
I would probably go with chicken nuggets rather than cutlets. Without any skin though, they won’t get crispy so you might want to do a 3 layer (flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumbs).
Can I use parchment paper instead of tinfoil and cooking spray?
Parchment doesn’t always do well at higher heats, so I would stick with the foil.
Unsalted or salted butter?
Either one will work, but I typically use regular salted butter.
I ended up using unsalted (for Super Bowl), next time I’ll try salted but they were amazing and I’ll definitely make these again! Thanks!
I made wings for the Super Bowl tonight. I made half the batch with my usual recipe and the other half with this recipe. My son went crazy for these wings! The first thing he said is that they taste like Buffalo Wild Wings. I tried them and agree. They are so crispy and flavorful. This will be my go-to recipe from now on. : )
Thank you for this recipe I have finally found success making wings…without the mess of frying. They are awesome!!
These are the best wings ever! I’ve tried other methods, but this is the best!
I make these at least once a month and they turn out great Every. Single. Time. Crispy and flavorful – thanks!
I’d recommend a shorter bake time. Otherwise, an easy and tasty recipe.
Made this recipe for Superbowl LII instead of Alton Brown’s that I usually make. This is WAAY easier and the result was crispy, moist wings. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!
Well the fact that you like my recipe better than Alton Brown’s is a HUGE compliment!!
I like to add a clove or Three of fresh pressed garlic and a little honey to the butter and Franks Hot Sauce.
I also find that baking at 500 degrees for a shorter time lends itself to a crispier chicken wing.
Best ever recipe!!!! So ease and delious.
I suggest preparing the wings as suggested and place into the refrigerator uncovered for 2-3 hours. Perfect for preparing ahead of time and placing in the preheated oven when you’re ready to go. This enhances the crispness by dehydrating the skin – so good.
1. they were defitintly crispy
2.. I cooked them on my gas grill, 400+ for 45 minutes
3. I coated then in a garlic parm sauce
4, I need to make f\more next time
These wings sound good and a snap to make thanks!
These are hands down the Best WINGS!!! Thank you!
Didn’t like it at all. The 2 tablespoon of baking powder made it very bitter and both my husband and I had to order delivery for dinner as we had to discard the entire kilo of chicken wings.
You probably used baking soda if it was bitter, I have definitely done this before, baking powder is not bitter at all. Try try again.
Everyone else remember baking powder !
Is it really 2 TABLESPOONS?
baking powder has baking soda in it along with creme of tartar and cornstarch
Baking powder that contains “sodium aluminum sulfate” has a bitter taste to some people. If you notice this flavor, you’ll want to try a different brand of baking powder.
That happened to me but I accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder. Oops! I tried it again and they came out great 👍
The most crispy baked chicken wings! Thank you
Very very good ! Family enjoyed them so much !patti sutton
Hi Kristin, I just wanted to thank you for posting this recipe. I have tried many chicken wing recipes in the past, looking for the best homemade version of ‘Buffalo Chicken Wings’ and behold I have found the best one! So I can´t thank you enough for taking the time to post it and your generosity for sharing this little gem.
Happy cooking!
These were delicious! Men even thought they were better than grilled wings! I would let them cool completely before tossing to keep crispness.
First time my husband agreed to trying chicken wings is when I came across your baked chicken wings recipe. It’s simple, quick and oh so good! He is now in charge of making them! OK with me! Thanks
These are soooo good!!! I put a twist on it and added a packet of ranch mix to the dry seasonings. Delicious! Thank you!!
Made these this evening and they were fab! I didn’t think I could get crispy skin like this using an oven – baked chicken wings are now going to be a firm family favourite (and I love that it’s healthier, not being fried !)
These wings are the best! I leave out the garlic powder and vary up the sauce with a squirt of honey and BBQ sauce to smooth out the heat and the flavour. I will never order wings out again! Thank you!!
I made these last night. So easy, so good! I baked them for 40 minutes. They came out very crispy. I was pleasantly surprised. I did some with Hot sauce/butter & some garlic/parmesan. Both were good, but we liked the hot sauce ones the best. Thanks for posting this recipe. Definitely a keeper.
Conlmpliments to the chef. These were the best. My husband can’t stop talking about how good they were. Thanks
Great recipe! We make these wings every Friday! I substitute the flour for garbanzo flour to make it gluten free and it tastes great! Thanks!!
These were awesome!
Excellent recipe! Can’t wait to make it again!
I tried this for my first time and they came out delicious & crispy!! ❤
You have leave chicken in for hour and half. Then below you day 30 minutes. ?
The post says half an hour, which is 30 minutes.
This is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Juicy and crispy as if they were fried!!!! I bake them on a rack and they are awesome every single time I’ve made them. Always a hit!!!
These were AMAZING! My son, husband and I devoured 1.5kg of drumettes between us! I just left them plain without the sauce. My son dipped his in tomato sauce and we dipped ours in Nandos peri peri lemon herb sauce. Can’t believe it gives a deep fried effect without the oil!
I admit I was skeptical about the amount of baking powder, but these were delicious! The skin was crispy and perfectly seasoned and the meat was juicy and flavorful. No messy frying, either! A complete winner, we enjoyed them very much.
Can I ask a question that might sound really silly, I’m planning on making these for my boyfriend as he absolutely loves hot chicken wings, however I don’t do a lot of cooking. The flour, is it plain flour used?
Yes it’s all-purpose flour.
These are absolutely phenomenal. A perfect crispiness, no need to deep fry, and you can make them in your underwear! Wish I would’ve found these sooner. These go toe-to-toe with ANY restaurant-made wings I’ve ever had and I consider it a BLESSING that I found this recipe.
Can you use Almond or coconut flour as a substitue instead of regular flour?
I haven’t tried it, so I can’t speak to whether or not it would work. Give it a try and let us know how it comes out!
Can I take to a picnic and serve at out door temperature
They would be ok at room temperature, but I would wait to coat them in the sauce as you don’t want them to get soggy.
I am completely addicted to these wings! I’ve made them very week for the last 6 weeks. LOL!! Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe!
Love to hear that Sherry!
I want to make these fir Sunday . Can I make ahead and warm in oven ?
You can – but they might get dry or if you add the sauce they won’t be crispy. If you’re going to warm them in the oven anyway, I’d just prep them and then bake them the day of.
This was my first time making wings at home, so I followed the directions to the letter and these turned out amazing!! My husband said they were the best he’d had ever.
No brining them?
Nope!
this recipe is without doubt the best chicken wing recipe I’ve tried . . .can’t believe how easy it is and how perfect it turns out . . . you are awesojme!
Great job Kristin!!! I made them they are good you can make changes off of your recipe. Different sauces changing up bake temp or time if you want to but I thought yours was good.
Thanks Brian!
These were the best chicken wings! Super easy to make, very little cleanup and best of all…my teenage son wants to learn to make them for his friends. Now that’s a huge endorsement! Thank you so much!!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing. My fiancé couldn’t believe I baked the wings. He thought it was fried.
Thank you!
So happy that you and your family loved this recipe!
Thank you for stopping by!
Made these and they are perfection! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. A favorite recipe for life! Incredibly easy to make!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!
