    Ingredients

    The detailed ingredient list and direction are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Chicken wings

    Baking powder- This is optional but it gives crispy baked chicken wings. Do not use baking soda! They don't work the same. Use baking powder for this recipe.

    Garlic granules- You can substitute with garlic powder.

    Onion powder

    Paprika 

    Cayenne or Black pepper - Adjust the quantity to how spicy you want the chicken.

    Parsley

    Bouillon cube - This is optional but I sometimes add for flavor.

    Olive Oil - You can replace with vegetable or sunflower oil.

    Salt

    ingredients arranged on a white and grey surface.

    How to Bake Chicken Wings

    Cut - If the wings are not already cut, then cut them. To cut the chicken wings, find the joints, and use kitchen scissors to cut through the center of each joint, you then have three parts: the Drumette, the flat and the tip. Discard the tips and use the drumettes and flats or use whole chicken wings without cutting if you prefer.

    Season - Pat the wings dry with a kitchen towel then add the baking powder, black or cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic granules, onion powder, parsley and salt. Mix well.

    Marinate for 60 minutes if you have the time and if not move on to the next step.

    Bake - Place a wire rack on an oven tray then arrange the chicken wings on the tray in a single layer. Put the tray in the oven and bake at a temperature of 400F/ 200C for 25 minutes.

    After the 25 minutes, bring the chicken out, use a tong to turn the wings to the other side, put back in the oven, and bake for another 20 minutes.

    Tips and How to make Chicken Wings Crispy

    • Pat dry with a kitchen towel before adding the dry rub.
    • You can use your choice of dry rub whether homemade or storebought but use a good one.
    • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes if you have the time. 
    • Line the oven tray with parchment paper or foil for easy clean up of the oven tray after baking.
    • Place wings on a wire rack on top of the oven tray to avoid them being in juice from baking.
    • For crispy baked chicken wings, add the baking powder.
    • You can bake the chicken in air fryer oven.
    • Adjust oven temperature depending on if using a fan oven or conventional oven but bake on high heat for crispy skin.
    • If not sure if the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. If it’s at least 165F/75C, it is safe to eat.
    • You can double this recipe but ensure the wings are not piled on each other on the tray. Line them in a single layer.
