These crispy oven baked chicken wings have golden, crunchy skin with juicy meat inside, without breading or deep frying. A little baking powder helps the skin crisp in the oven, while a simple seasoning blend gives the wings plenty of flavor.
These oven-fried chicken wings are easy enough for dinner and great for game day or parties. For a soul food-style meal, serve them with Southern Baked Mac and Cheese, Collard Greens with Bacon, Southern Candied Yams, or Homemade Cornbread. If you prefer the air fryer, try my Air Fryer Chicken Wings.
Why Make These Oven Baked Chicken Wings?
- Crispy without frying: Baking powder helps the chicken skin brown and crisp in the oven.
- Simple ingredients: You only need chicken wings, baking powder, and a handful of pantry seasonings.
- Easy to customize: Enjoy them as-is or add Buffalo sauce, garlic Parmesan sauce, BBQ sauce, or another favorite.
Ingredients Needed
Here are a few notes about the main ingredients. Check the recipe card below for the exact amounts.
- Chicken wings: Use wings that have been separated into flats and drums.
- Sea salt and black pepper: I prefer freshly ground black pepper.
- Smoked paprika: Adds color and a mild smoky flavor.
- Garlic powder and onion powder: Season the wings without adding moisture to the skin.
- Baking powder: This helps the skin brown and crisp in the oven by changing its surface pH. Be sure to use baking powder, not baking soda.
How to Make Crispy Chicken Wings in the Oven
Dry and season the wings
Pat the chicken wings very dry, then toss them with the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder until the skin is evenly coated.
Arrange them with space
Place the wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Leave space between each piece so the wings can brown and crisp instead of steaming.
Bake until browned and crispy
Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes, flip the wings, then bake for about 25 minutes more. The skin should look browned and crisp when they’re done. Let the wings rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
How Long to Bake Chicken Wings at 425°F
For this recipe, bake the chicken wings at 425°F for about 50 minutes total, flipping after the first 25 minutes. The skin should look browned and crisp when they’re ready. Since wing size can vary, larger pieces may need a little more time.

Tips for Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Wings
- Use baking powder, not baking soda: They aren’t interchangeable. Baking soda can leave an unpleasant flavor.
- Don’t crowd the pan: If the wings won’t fit with space between them, use a second baking sheet.
- Use the appearance along with the time: Wing size varies, so look for browned, crisp skin rather than relying only on the clock.
Sauce Ideas
These crispy baked wings are an easy base for different flavors. Serve them plain with Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing, or toss them with Buffalo sauce, garlic Parmesan sauce, BBQ sauce, or another favorite.
If you want a fully seasoned wing recipe, try my Lemon Pepper Wings, Baked BBQ Chicken Wings, Baked Garlic Parmesan Wings, or Crispy Air Fryer Old Bay Chicken Wings.
What to Serve With Oven Baked Chicken Wings
For a Southern or soul food-style dinner, serve these wings with Southern Baked Mac and Cheese, Collard Greens with Bacon, Southern Candied Yams, or Homemade Cornbread.
For game day, add Air Fryer Fries with Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing. For another simple side, try Air Fryer Green Beans or Vinegar Coleslaw.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigerate: Store leftover wings in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Warm refrigerated wings in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes, or until heated through. This gives you the best chance of bringing back some of the crisp texture.
- Freeze: You can freeze cooked wings in an airtight container for up to 3 months, but freezing and reheating softens the skin, so they won’t be as crispy as freshly baked wings. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Mary Ann says
I’ve made these 3 times now and they always come out great. I usually have more than 1.5 lbs. of wings so I just increase the spices proportionally.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks for stopping back and leaving this review, Mary!
Josie says
I made these wings tonight fo dinner. I chose this recipe because:
a – they are low cab
b – they only require basic ingredients that I already have or won’t have a problem finding in any grocery store
c – I wanted an oven cooked recipe so that I wouldn’t have to make several small batches in an air fryer.
These were amazing!! Better than any restaurant by far. I’m so impressed. It’s the first time I’ve ever used baking powder in chicken wing seasoning but it makes all the difference. These wings were so crispy on the outside and fall off the bone inside, and perfect combination of spices. I already know that I’m jotting this one down and putting it in the recipe box where I keep all the best ones!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Hey Josie! I so appreciate your thoughtful review and am glad you enjoyed these. It truly helps other people who stop by give the recipe a try. -Davinah
Gary says
Seriously they were unbelievable 👍 My question is do you think it could be done with pork chops also?
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Such a good question! The baking powder works because of the chicken skin. I think a little would be helpful for the fat cap on the pork chop. But, I haven’t tested that. I have tested this recipe for air fryer pork chops. Thanks also for your review of the wings. – Davinah
Lisa says
I always try to follow a recipe exactly the first time I make it. These were great! Super easy, tasty and crunchy. And if you use parchment paper, clean up is easy. (I love parchment paper!) Next time I’ll have to buy three pounds of wings so there will be leftovers!
Lynnette Gary says
Love! Love! Love! This recipe! They are a hit every time!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks so much, Lynnette! I’m so happy that you enjoyed them.
Shawnda says
If I have a 3lb bag of wings, should I double the measurements?
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Yes double the spices and use two baking sheets. Since the oven will technically be full, they may need some additional cook time, depending on how hot your oven runs. Thank you for asking, Shawnda!
Valeri says
This honestly are better than any other wings. I love fried chicken, but I will take these over any place hands down. Not only better but much better for you. This is a big time winner!!!! Thank you
Nan says
I was skeptical about this recipe but I thought I would try it. My husband and I could not believe how absolutely super crispy these chicken wings were. They are definitely in my recipe book forever. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks so much, Nan for giving the recipe a try! I’m so happy that you and your husband enjoyed them! – Davinah
Penny Stern says
We love the taste so much. 😋 could you use any part of the chicken. The kids want drum sticks made this way
Vicki Johnson says
Absolutely the best! This is my 3rd time making them.
Paula says
Beat wings ever! Only way I’ll make them!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
I’m so happy that you enjoyed them! Thank you, Paula!
Anastasia says
I nearly never leave reviews but this recipe is perfect! I have made it multiple times, sometimes with different spices and spice amounts, but they are always consistently crispy.
Marion says
I love this recipe. The fact that oil is not being used to cook this. Very simple and tasty. Will be making it again. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
CarolinaGirl says
I made these wings and they were absolutely delicious! I especially loved how simply it was to prepare. It got me to thinking…could I use the same ingredients for a crispy oven baked, no breading, bone-in pork chop? Would I need to tweak the ingredients at all?!🤔
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
I haven’t tested this combo, but you’re the second person to ask about it and it really does sound delicious. I know that the baking powder would help with the fat cap on a pork chop, but I’m not sure what it would do to the rest of the meat that’s a bit leaner. I’ll test it out and report back. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review!
Kendress says
These wings turned out beautifully! Flavorful, crispy, and absolutely yummy! Thanks for sharing!

Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
Fantastic to hear! Delighted your family enjoys the wings prepared this way. 🙂
Sue Aloe says
Hello, your recipe for the crispy chicken wings calls for 1 tablespoon baking powder, all other call for 1 teaspoon, is the tablespoon a typo because such a different amount.
Thanks
Sue Aloe
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks for asking, Sue! It is not a typo. For the crispiest wings without any breading, I use about 1 tablespoon per pound of meat.
Donna says
Just made these!! Very good. Glad I tried your recipe. They were crispy and juicy and nicely spiced!! Thanks!!
Nanette says
Oh my!!! These chicken wings were absolutely.amazing!!! The only thing I did was cook them about 5 minutes longer after the second turn. They were perfectly cooked and crispy. My husband and I loved them. We’ll never order them out again. Thank you for a great recipe.
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
I’m overjoyed to hear the chicken wings turned out perfectly for you and your husband! Your tweak for that extra crispiness is a great tip. Here’s to many more delicious homemade wings! Thank you for giving the recipe a try. 😊
Donna says
This a great recipes for wings. Tried it today and followed the recipe exactly. Not hard to make. Now I have a go to wings recipe that works.
Deb says
Seriously the best oven baked wings we have ever had! So easy to make and bake. The spice is just right for me, and you could easily add other spices if you want more heat. Soooo goooood!!
Y. Solomon says
Made this recipe for my family and my husband who is a wing snob love it. The baking soda works….so crispy!!
Melanee says
This recipe is a favorite in my household. I follow the recipe exact and every time it turns out great!!!
Patti Burke says
I’m a NY food snob. And what’s worse is I have celiacs disease which makes me a cranky food snob. Once I found gluten free spices, I made these wings. I had all but given up on good wings as gluten free ingredients suckola!
Alas! An excellent wing was to be had! These are easy and delicious, so glad I stumbled onto this recipe. Thank you!!
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
I’m so happy to hear that you found an excellent wing recipe! It’s always a great feeling to stumble upon a delicious and easy-to-make recipe. I’m glad I could help by sharing it with you. Enjoy your tasty wings!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve been using my recipe for a few years and that it’s become a staple in your household. It’s always a pleasure to know that my recipe is appreciated and enjoyed. Keep on enjoying those wings!
Anne M Moe says
Can you make these ahead of time and keep them warm in a crockpot?
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
I have not tried that and my concern would be potential heat and steam from the crockpot that would take away the crispiness.
Christine says
Best oven fried wings ever! Comments were “no sauce needed as so good!” No need to go out to a restaurant for good wings as this is an easy and delicious recipe.
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
That’s fantastic to hear! I’m so happy that you and your guests enjoyed the oven-fried wings and that they were so delicious that no sauce was needed. It’s always great to have an easy and tasty recipe on hand for those restaurant-quality dishes. Thanks for sharing your feedback with me and happy cooking!
Teresa says
I am a chicken wing snob and make very good wings! But these were fantastic! Best I’ve ever had, including eating out! They were crispy and crunchy, which we love. I substituted the black pepper with red, as we like some spice. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe and technique with the baking soda!
Lisie610 says
This so exceeded my expectations! Thank-You so much for this yummy and easy recipe. Love the crunch and moistness along with low carb count. If you are hesitating, don’t. This is a real keeper!
Lu says
These wings were yummy and super crispy and so easy. Next time I’ll butter the parchment or use non stick foil because the wings stuck to the parchment a bit. Subscribed to your site and look forward to more of your recipes.
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
Thank you so much for trying out our wing recipe and leaving such a kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that you found them yummy and super crispy. We apologize for the issue with the wings sticking to the parchment paper. Buttering the parchment or using non-stick foil are great solutions and we appreciate you sharing those tips with us and other readers.

Absolutely a freakin mazing these are the best I was not believing when I saw it but seeing is believing my husband loved loved them and they taste as if I fried them in grease but only better ♥️♥️Thanks so much
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
I’m so happy that you enjoyed these and really appreciate you taking the time to stop back and leave this great review!
Carrie says
I made these wings last night. They were delicious! Family loved them. They were crispy and had a lot of flavor. Followed the recipe except made a different sauce. For the sauce I did 1/3 cup of Franks Hot Sauce and approximately 2/3 cup of honey, garlic powder, and a slab of butter. Brought it almost to a boil then took it off the heat to cool for a couple of minutes. Then poured it over the wings.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Love, love the sauce that you added! Sounds so good. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
No one says
These didn’t turn out very well. I should have stuck to my original recipe. The baking powder made it gooey and dusty and bitter tasting. I made sure I used baking powder and not baking soda.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks so much for stopping back to share your experience. Some tips: to prevent the wings from being gooey, it’s important that you pat them dry first. Drying the wings helps the spice mix to spread evenly and also helps from having clumps of baking powder (baking powder is naturally bitter) and since you mentioned that the wings were gooey, I imagine that you also had clumps of it on your wings. Before cooking the chicken, they should look similar to the photo with a light, even coating of the spice mix on the wings.
Linda says
Made these for the grandkids. They loved them! Great taste. Served with sauce. Yum!
Vanessa P says
Tried this recipe today, but with whole wings. First time using smoked paprika. The family devoured them. Absolutely delicious! This is a keeper!
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
We’re so happy that you enjoyed this recipe. 🙂
Jerry Lynn says
Tastiest crispy wing recipe I have ever tasted! I can eat a chicken wing just about every way but my 91 year old father insists on crispy wings. These were the perfect fit! I can now have my chicken wings when they are available. Thank you for a wonderful recipe! We are also gluten free so finding this recipes was a win win for all of us.
Mansha says
Is it possible to use air fryer instead of oven? Is yes, what are the air fryer settings?
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Hi Manisha – yes, you can use an air fryer. Here’s my crispy air fryer wings recipe
Tommy says
Yup, this recipe works great. I made it a couple weeks ago and I’m back at it again. Thank you, this page is now in recipe spreadsheet. Thanks for your work!
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
We’re so happy that you enjoyed this recipe. 🙂
Lesley says
I’ve used this recipe for chicken wings at least a dozen times and they’re perfect, each and every time! I will occasionally add other seasonings like cayenne or Italian seasoning, but my very favourite is to toss in a teaspoon or two of lemon pepper – outstanding!
Any idea what the baking time would be if I were to cut chicken breasts into wing sized pieces?
Thank you!
Michelle A Sherman says
Divanah,
Thank you for this fantastic recipe!!! The first time wings turned out well for me.
They were crispy and full of flavor.
You’re the best.

Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
We agree that this is the best chicken wings recipe. We’re so happy that you enjoyed this recipe.
Kim Wagner says
OMG Davinah, these wings were AWESOME!!! I came across your website while googling for oven baked wings and these were out of this world!! I made them last night for the Super Bowl and was so sad that I only made 1 1/2 pounds. My husband and I could have kept on eating them. I’m sending the recipe to all our kids, who will be thrilled with the taste too!
Thank you for such an easy, delicious recipe. It’s on the menu again for later in the week!!!
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
Thank you! We’re glad you found our recipe and you enjoyed it. Hope you’re kids will love it too. Enjoy your crispy oven-baked chicken wings!
Lauren says
Cook at least three lbs,or as they say,go home😁
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Ha! I agree!
Cheri says
I made these for the super bowl they were absolutely delicious thank you for sharing
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
You’re welcome! We’re glad you enjoyed it.
Lynn says
If using frozen wings, do they need to be thawed?
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Hi Lynn,
Thanks so much for asking. For this recipe, thawed wings work best. If you want to cook wings from frozen, please use this air fryer frozen wings recipe.
Gilda says
If you don’t have an air fryer, these are 100% the way to go!! They are so delicious and crispy! Just as is! No sauce needed!
Dr. Davinah's Eats Team says
We’re so happy that you enjoyed this recipe.
ANNETTE says
WOW, DAVINAH……YUMMY ISN’T THE WORD…..THANK YOU. I HAVE SORTA STOOD BACK WHEN SO MANY USE PORK RINDS TO ROLL CHICKEN IN….NOW THANKS TO YOU I CAN MAKE CHICKEN AGAIN AND IT BE CRISPY. I LOVE YOUR BLOG, THANK YOU FOR SUCH WONDERFUL RECIPES
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
I really appreciate you taking the time to share this review, Annette! I’m also so happy that you enjoyed these.
Kayi says
The best oven fried wing ever!! It’s crispy!! I finally found something to help me not fry! Game changer!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks, Kayi! I’m so happy that you enjoyed these 🙂
Susan says
I truly enjoyed these wings and its so much better and easier than grease fried chicken. I would like to know if I could use the recipe for lege and thighs too. Thank you!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Hi Susan,
I’m happy you enjoyed this! Yes – you can use this to make crisp chicken legs. Since chicken thighs don’t have as much skin, I use my chicken dry rub in this air fryer chicken thighs recipe.
Best,
Davinah
Joni says
These are the bomb! They are crispy but not fried. I make them every week now! Love it!! My husband, the wing connoisseur, loves them too.
The only thing I changed was the timing…25 minutes per side was too much and the first time I made them, they were *almost* inedible. Since then, I do 25 minutes, flip, 15 minutes, which makes them perfecto!
Thank you for this recipe!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Hi Joni,
Thanks so much for sharing that feedback about how to adjust the cook time to make the wings crispy enough for you and I’m happy that you enjoyed them.
Best,
Davinah
Kay says
These wings are the absolute best!!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
So happy you enjoyed them. Thanks for coming back to share your review!
costaprudence says
yes, third time making. crispy juicy perfection. why would you do anything else? but for smaller wings, less time, esp second side.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
This is really helpful! I’m going to add it as a note.
Cynthia W. says
I stumbled across your recipe for oven crispy chicken wings. I tried them and they are excellent, I am giving your recipe to my friends.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
I appreciate you sharing this recipe and taking the time to write a review!
Cindy says
Beyond awesome! My husband loves fast food and I’m not much of a chicken eater (usually so bland), and we both LOVE these wings! Thank you! We will be making these regularly,
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
I appreciate you stopping back to share a review of these!
Diane G. says
OMG! I love this recipe! Adding baking powder to the seasoned flour took my wings to a whole new level. They were more crunchy and flavorful without the added calories from deep frying. I will continue to use this recipe for future cooking.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks so much, Diane!
I’m so happy that this recipe was helpful and that you enjoyed it!
Eden says
I make these all the time. I put the seasoning in a big plastic bag, dry the wings, and then shake! I use a cookie rack thing so I don’t even turn them over. Just wanted to thank you for giving me a recipe that made me actually LIKE chicken wings! I have done with full wings and it’s just as good, btw. Thank you so much! Love your site.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks so much, Eden! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. 🙂
Melissa Hanke says
Family loved them. Kids picked bones clean and had seconds. I used paper and my oven cooks hot so I should have done 90 mins. Usually I cook them in the air fryer but these were way crisper and more loved.
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Hi Melissa!
I’m so happy that you and your family loved these 🙂
Thanks,
Davinah
Kristie says
You said 25min each side, 50mins total bake time. That sounds like way to long? Am I reading that wrong?
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Hi Kristie,
Thanks for asking. The cook time is correct for crispy wings. You can always adjust the cook time, though. I recommend cooking these for 25 minutes, flipping them, and then checking on them after 10 minutes to see how much longer works for you!
Best,
Davinah
Marsha says
Best chicken wings I’ve had in a long time.
Davinah says
I’m so happy you enjoyed them, Marsha! Thanks.
Mia T.-W. says
YES! To the crispy oven fried chicken wings!! My husband thought i fried them! LOL! I am so glad I found this website! Just what the doctor ordered:-)! No pun intended! I was looking for a healthy website with tasty food! Looking for the next recipe I will try:-)! Thank you Dr Davinah!
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Thanks a lot, Mia! I really appreciate the review.
Daa says
Can this be used with whole wings
Davinah says
Yes – just be sure to evenly coat the wings and all their crevices so they crisp evenly.
Natalie says
Tried this recipe tonight and the wings were a hit!! Can’t wait to try more on the site
Nancy says
I love this recipe for its ease, keto friendliness and incredible flavor! I use it often and usually triple the amount of spices for large batches. For a little something extra I sometimes add a little Old Bay. Thank you for a great recipe!
Andrea says
Delicious! A family favorite and weekly request from some very picky eaters.
Caitlyn T says
I stumbled across this recipe & honestly I was suspicious. The baking powder just seemed so weird to me. I was wrong!! These wings were SO GOOD & I plan on making them again and again!
Andrea says
This is it. No need to try any other recipe. Crispy, easy, taste and fast. Best of all, no need to a gallon of oil to fry.
Sue says
Can’t wait to try this
Davinah says
Please let me know how it turns out when you do! Thanks!
Karli says
These were absolutely AMAZING!! The recipe was so simple to follow, and I felt like a real chef when I presented them to the family for dinner tonight haha. Such a keeper! 5+ star review from me!
Davinah says
Karli,
Thanks for stopping back to share your experience. I’m so happy that you enjoyed them and that they made you shine in the kitchen! 🙂
Cynthia Armstrong says
This recipe is delicious! I needed a little more seasoning mix and bake for longer as my wings were very large.
Thank you for sharing.
Davinah says
So happy that you enjoyed these, Cynthia! Glad you were able to make an adjustment for your larger wings.
yarnell says
was wondering can I use aluminum foil in place of the parchment paper?
Davinah Cenou Montezuma says
Yes – but sometimes, the chicken will stick to aluminum foil so parchment is best.
Julia says
Just made these tonight and they were amazing. My 4 year old son even loved them, and he almost never will eat the chicken i bake. He devoured it, and asked me to make it every night! Finally, a chicken recipe worth keeping. I’ll be using this recipe all the time now, and will be checking out your other recipes as well!
Davinah says
Thanks, Julia. So happy that you and the family enjoyed it! 🙂
Ann Marie Scheie says
I call my husband “Birdman” because he loves anything chicken/turkey/goose/quail. But his absolute favorite is wings. I have been making wings for him for 50 years but when I tried this recipe he became rapturous! The only change I made was to marinate them in buttermilk for 6 hours before prepping them for the oven. Tender, juicy, flavorful, and very satisfying. Thanks for a great recipe.
Davinah says
Ann,
I completely support you marinating these in buttermilk – I’m drooling just thinking about it! I personally love doing that around Thanksgiving to keep my turkey moist. I appreciate you for stopping back to share your experience and am happy that you and your “Birdman” enjoyed them 🙂
Micah says
These wings are the best ever! So flavorful and juicy, I’ll never order out again.
Davinah says
Oh wow! I’m so happy that you enjoyed this, Micah!
Shanna | Modernmealmakeover says
These wings looks so yummy! I love how you can just throw them in the oven and don’t have to fry them.
Davinah says
Thanks, Shanna!

So much easier than deep frying! Love how crispy they look!
Davinah says
Thanks, Lisa!
Farah Maizar says
They look so crispy and perfect! I’m so excited to try them thanks for the great healthy recipe
Liz says
What a great tip about the baking powder! I can never get oven wings super crispy. Thank you!!
Davinah says
Thanks, Liz! So happy that you found that useful!
Kimberly J says
This recipe is the best! I substituted parchment paper and added cayenne pepper for a little heat. It came out perfect! The family really loved it. Thank you, I can’t wait to make it again.
Davinah says
Yum! We love spicy food so I know that the cayenne was a nice touch! Happy you enjoyed this and appreciate you taking the time to write a review.

Ted Nemetz says
This recipe is exactly what I was looking for. The seasoning works great and the oven frying makes it so simple. I did put them under the broiler for about a minute and a half to finish.
Davinah says
Hi Ted!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed this. Thanks a lot for the broiler tip and for taking the time to review.

Linda says
I have tried umpteen wing recipes, just deleted every one on my Pinterest page except this one!
They were everything I hoped they would be.
Follow the directions, don’t change a thing.
Didn’t use a rack, just parchment paper, easy clean up.
I made Franks Keto buffalo sauce, put on after baking , stuck them back in the oven for a couple minutes.
They’ll be perfect for our Super Bowl Party!
CO CHIEFS ❤️?❤️
Davinah says
Hi Linda!
So excited that you enjoyed these and will use it for the game! Really appreciate you taking the time to stop back & share your experience!

Carol says
My oven has a convection setting and I was thinking about cooking them on a wire rack using the convection baking setting to maximizer air flow. Any suggestions what temperature I should cook them at and for how long?
Davinah says
Hi Carol,
I haven’t tried this, but I imagine that this will be similar to making the wings in an air fryer. In that recipe, I use 400 degrees and cook the wings for 12-15 minutes per side.
Thanks,
Davinah
Gregory says
Holy Cow!
This is literally the best recipe. Things wings were so crispy and flavorful! Thank you so much for sharing!

Update! I’ve made these twice. The first time I baked them as is. Last night I broiled them and they were even more crispy. First, I let them sit out on a baking sheet fitted with a wired rack so they could come to room temp and dry more thoroughly without wasting paper towels to dry them.
I coated them and them put them under the broiler on high for about 10 minutes. You will have to watch them because paprika will burn under high heat. Turn the broiler down to low and broil turning them every 10 minutes until cooked through. The wired rack allows for more air circulation and more even cooking. I’d suggest baking them using a wired rack as well.
Thanks again for a great recipe!
Davinah says
Thanks for stopping back and providing this broiler update! I love this option.

Emily Tindel says
So good!! I have three (Growing) men to feed and they devour these (I triple or quadruple the recipe). I was lucky and got three pieces this time. Thank you for such an easy meal and I know they’re not getting gross ingredients. I’ve forwarded your recipe link to MANY friends. Thank you!!!
Davinah says
Hi Emily!
I’m so happy that you and your men enjoy these. Love eating these plain or pairing them with sauces! Really appreciate you stopping back to let you know that it works and for sharing the link! Have an awesome evening!
Best,

Liz Christian says
Has anyone tried chicken thighs with this method?
Davinah says
Hi Liz,
I haven’t tried chicken thighs using this method, but I did use it for air fryer drumsticks so it should work fine.
Thanks,

Alberta Baker says
Wow! All the years of deep frying! Over! We loved tge outcome. Thanks for sharing.
Davinah says
Hi Alberta!
So happy that you enjoyed this. Thanks a lot for taking the time to stop back and leave a review.

Alberta says
Would you also recommend using this recipe with fish instead of chicken?
Davinah says
Hi Alberta,
No. The fish could use a breading like the one I used for Bang Bang Shrimp and I’d recommend that you pan fry that with a little olive, avocado or coconut oil. I’ll work on a recipe for that.
Thanks for asking.
Fern says

Tried these and they are very tasty, you go, girl! I was looking up a different way to make wings and found this. Mine didn’t bake up VERY crispy but I was still very happy with the results. Loved the taste and will make these again.
I usually don’t go for the trendy stuff like keto, etc. but the combo of ingredients plus the addition of baking powder intrigued me and had to try it.
Thanks,
Steve
Davinah says
Happy you enjoyed these, Steve! I loveee this recipe. Also, super excited that you stepped out of your comfort zone to give these a try. What I’ve found is that lots of things called “keto” are actually just real food without added sugar and grains. Hope that you’ll stop back! Appreciate you for taking the time to comment.
Have an awesome New Year!
Best,
Davinah
Jan says

Tiffani A Piehl says
These wings were awesome! The only downside was that when I went to turn them over some of the skin stuck to the pan. Do you think I could use parchment paper – would they remain crispy?
Davinah says
Hi Tiffani!
Yes! I was actually about to say that I now use parchment paper. This helps with that completely. Happy you enjoyed the wings.
Best,
Davinah
Melody J says
I want to try these out! The recipe says 3 servings. How many pieces of chicken would you say is a serving?
Davinah says
Hi Melody!
All of my wing recipes include about 4-5 wings (drums & flats). Hope you try this one out!
Best,
Davinah
Vanessa says
Omg just started this Keto thing and I must say this is one of the best recipes I’ve tried. The whole family enjoyed them. Will definitely be my weekend dinners moving forward.
Davinah says
Hi Vanessa!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed these! They are some of my favorites too! Love mixing them up with different sauces and pairing them with new veggies to have some variety!
Best,
Davinah
Lisa Miner says
I want to try to make these but my husband likes his wings cooked with a buffalo sauce. Do you have a variation that you can add a sauce during baking ?
Davinah says
Hi Lisa,
I always add my sauce to wings at the end of cooking because I want them saucy and slightly crispy. Here’s my recipe for Buffalo Wings with homemade blue cheese. You can feel free to omit the ghost pepper spice (we like our food insanely hot!). You’ll notice that I’m using an air fryer. You can use the oven directions to bake them before adding sauce.
Thanks,
Davinah
