Make crispy, juicy chicken wings right in your oven with this easy extra crispy baked chicken wings recipe. No frying needed! Perfect for a family dinner, game day, or meal prep, these wings come out golden brown and full of flavor every time.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Prepare the Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps make them extra crispy.
Season the Wings
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the chicken wings and toss them until they’re evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange on the Rack
Lay the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they’re not touching each other for even cooking.
Bake the Wings
Bake for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
Serve and Enjoy
Once crispy and golden, remove the wings from the oven. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, or toss in a glaze of your choice.
