Crispy Baked Chicken Wings are the ultimate party wings. You can prep them for the oven in no time, then bake them until you have nice crispy skin and tender insides. The flavors of garlic, onion, and chili are mixed into the crispy coating and go great with any number of your favorite dipping sauces. Serve them along with other favorite appetizers like Brown Sugar Smokies and Crispy Coconut Shrimp, for an unbelievable flavorful party.

Making Baked Chicken Wings in the oven makes them easy to enjoy at home and healthier than deep-frying like they typically would be at a restaurant. The Baked Chicken Wings are roasted to crispy perfection with a flavorful coating that’s just as mouth-watering as anything you’d get at your favorite sports bar!

DIPPING SAUCE

Chicken Wings make a great appetizer for your next game night, super bowl watch party, or family get-together. Put the chicken on a serving dish along with your favorite sauces like Blue Cheese Dressing, BBQ Sauce, or Honey Mustard. For a spicy sauce, you can also use Buffalo Sauce. Put it out with other dippers like carrot sticks and celery for more tasty finger food. Here are a few more delicious dips to try:

  • Tangy Yogurt Dip: To make a cool yogurt dip combine 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons chili sauce, and 1 teaspoon horseradish.
  • Homemade Tzatziki Sauce: Mix together 2 cups grated cucumber, 1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream), 2 tablespoons olive oil, a tablespoon chopped dill, a tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove.

TIPS FOR MAKING BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

  • Prep time: Start by preheating your oven, and if you’re worried about the chicken sticking to the pan spray the baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Coating: To make the delicious crispy skin, combine vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Put the chicken wings in the bowl and make sure they’re well covered on all sides in the crispy coating.
  • Cook time: Place the coated chicken wings in a single layer on your baking pan or cookie sheet. Pop the chicken in your preheated oven and leave them in for a 1-hour baking time. They’ll bake to crispy, golden-brown perfection. To let the chicken cool quickly before serving at a party, you can place them on the wire rack then move them to your serving dish.
