Here’s a simple, crispy recipe for Oven Baked Chicken Wings—juicy inside, golden and slightly crisp outside without deep frying.
Chicken wings are perfect for baking because the skin crisps up beautifully in a hot oven.
🍗 Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Optional sauce
- BBQ sauce or hot sauce for coating
🍳 Instructions
1. Prep wings
- Pat chicken wings dry (very important for crispiness)
- Toss with oil, salt, pepper, and spices
- Let sit for 10–20 minutes if possible
2. Bake
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F)
- Place wings on a rack over a baking tray (or directly on tray with foil)
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway
3. Crisp finish
- For extra crispiness, broil/grill for 3–5 minutes at the end
4. Add sauce (optional)
- Toss baked wings in BBQ or hot sauce
- Or serve sauce on the side
💡 Tips for best results
- Dry skin = crispier wings
- Don’t overcrowd the tray
- Baking rack helps air circulation
- Higher heat = better texture
🧠 Bottom line
Oven baked wings are a healthier alternative to fried wings that still give you crispy skin and juicy meat when cooked at high heat.
If you want, I can also give:
- extra crispy “restaurant-style” wings
- air fryer wings method
- or Pakistani spicy masala wings 👍
