Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Set the temperature on your oven as you start preparing your wings. Allow the oven to come to full temperature so it’s ready to go once your wings are seasoned.Most ovens will beep or indicate that it’s reached the temperature you set.

Step 2

Season the wings with oil, salt, and pepper. Place the wings in a mixing bowl or on a cutting board. Coat them with oil and sprinkle salt and pepper over them as seasoning.You can use canola oil or vegetable oil to coat your wings. For a healthier option, use olive oil.There's no specific measurements for salt and pepper. A light sprinkling should do the trick! You can always add more seasoning after the wings are cooked if you need to.

Step 3

Place the wings in a casserole dish and add 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of water. Use a casserole baking dish, which is deeper than a baking sheet and will help keep the wings from drying out. Put the seasoned wings in the bottom of the dish, then add the water.The water will steam up and also help keep the wings from drying out as they cook.

Step 4

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake the wings for 1.5 hours. Place a sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the dish to cover it and help trap in moisture as they bake. Slide the dish into your oven on the center rack and set a timer.Avoid checking on the wings as they bake so the moisture doesn’t escape.Use the center rack of your oven so the hot air circulates around the dish and helps the wings cook evenly.

Step 5

Remove the foil and bake the wings another hour. After an hour and a half, take the baking dish out of the oven and remove the aluminum foil. Slide the dish back into the oven and let the wings cook uncovered for another hour so they get nice and brown.Don’t taste or serve the wings after you remove the foil! They need more time to fully cook.

Step 6

Let the wings cool and cover them with sauce of your choosing. After the wings finish baking, remove the dish and place it on your counter or stovetop to cool down. If you want to add sauce, cover the wings and serve them while they’re still warm.You could use a sweet barbecue sauce or a spicy Buffalo wing sauce for your turkey wings.You can also enjoy the baked wings “naked” style without any sauce.If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week.
