The Best Oven Baked Chicken Wings
Keep them basic or smother them in your favorite wing sauce – YUM! These little guys are on regular rotation in our house on the weekends and especially for the big game. The kids like to keep them basic without any sauce and then my husband and I like to dress them up in the sauce – spicy, sweet, tangy – whatever we are feeling for the day.

Recipe FAQs
- How to make chicken wings crispy? To get a crispy skin, you will want to make sure they are as dry as possible with paper towels before putting them on the wire rack. The drier they are, the easier it is for the chicken skin to get nice and crispy! Once dry, place them on the wire rack and try to keep them spaced out. When the wings are spaced out, the heat is able to fully circulate around the wings, giving you crispy deliciousness! After about 30 minutes of cook time, keep an eye on the wings until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
