crispy oven baked chicken wings

If you’re craving crispy chicken wings but don’t want the hassle of deep-frying, these crispy oven-baked wings are the perfect solution. With just a few simple ingredients and a little oven time, you’ll get the crunchy texture you love without all the excess oil. These wings are seasoned to perfection with a blend of spices that add depth and flavor, including smoked paprika, garlic powder, and just a hint of cayenne for a mild kick. But what really sets these wings apart is the magical coating made from baking powder and cornstarch, which creates that crispy, golden exterior you can’t get from traditional baking alone.

Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Wings

lb. Chicken wings

tbsp White vinegar

tsp Smoked paprika

Garlic powder

tsp Cayenne

White pepper

tsp Black pepper

tsp celery salt

Salt

tbsp baking powder (levelled)

tbsp corn starch (heaping)

tbsp Beef tallow

tbsp Butter

tbsp Sriracha (heaping)

Honey

tsp Garlic salt

Sesame seeds

Sesame oil

Lime juice

sesame seeds

onions

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up in the oven.

In a large bowl, add the chicken wings along with white vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, white pepper, black pepper, celery salt, salt, baking powder, cornstarch and beef tallow.

Mix the wings thoroughly to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture. Optional: Let the wings marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Place the seasoned wings on a wire rack set over a baking tray to allow air circulation around them. Sprinkle a bit more salt all over the wings at this step if desired.

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes on each side. If needed, flip the wings over once more and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the wings are crispy and golden.

For the honey sesame sriracha sauce, In a small saucepan, combine butter, sriracha, honey, smoked paprika, garlic salt, sesame seeds, and sesame oil.

Simmer the mixture over medium heat for about 1 minute. Do not let it boil. If the sauce separates or looks uneven, use an immersion blender to blend it until smooth and well combined.

Once the wings are done baking and crispy, coat them in the honey sesame sriracha sauce. You can either toss the wings in the sauce or lightly drizzle it over them to maintain crispiness.

Garnish the wings with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, chopped green onion, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Baked Chicken Wings (SUPER CRISPY)

lbs chicken wings

tbsp baking powder

tsp kosher salt

tsp white pepper

tsp neutral oil

Pat chicken wings completely dry and add the wings to a large bowl. Add the neutral oil to the wings.  In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, ground white pepper and baking powder until combined. Pour half of the seasoning over the wings, mix, then add the rest of the seasonings to ensure all wings are evenly coated.

Take a large baking sheet and line it with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lay the wings on the wire rack with space between each wing so they are not touching each other.

Bake at 450F for 30 minutes (use convection if possible). Flip and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the skin is crispy.
