Crispy Baked Chicken Wings - Tastes Better From Scratch (2024)

Best wings I ever made. Thank you for the great recipe!

I made this recipe and was surprised that they did turn out crispy! I added Morton’s Season Salt and a lot more paprika and onion powder. They were so good with just that that we didn’t even toss them in sauce. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I found it a lot less cumbersome than making 5 small batches on the air fryer.

Love your recipeses so much easy to read

Best and easiest wing recipe I have found! These are absolutely delicious and crispy! I used to do chicken wings in the air fryer, which was a chore to clean. So glad to have found this recipe!

The best wing recipe I’ve made yet!
Definitely a keeper! Delicious with or without the sauce 😋

I keep coming back to this recipe for when I make wings. It is AMAZING! This time I used your honey bbq sauce recipe. They are always a hit at my house!

The BEST chicken. We don’t make the sauce. We simply use bottled Primal Buffalo Sauce. But the chicken even without sauce is so good. New chicken cook over here. Highly recommend.

WAY,WAY,WAY too much baking powder !!! You ruined 2 lbs of chicken wings, thank you very little ! With 1 Tablespoon of baking powder for 2 lbs of wings, that’s all we tasted ! Couldn’t even taste the seasonings. Maybe 1/4 Tbsp at best next time. People, you don’t need THAT much baking powder, or you’ll end up with what I had – to throw out.

Sauce Way too hot for my palate & super sweet.

The wings turned out fantastic. My husband and I devoured them. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us! 🙂

Superb!! Easy recipe to follow, and my family loved them!

These are my family’s favourite wings! Thanks for the recipe 😀

This would have been good except for the large amount of salt specified. I couldn’t eat them.

We love hese wings! Sometimes I reduce the brown sugar and add honey!
These are a staple in our house!

These were so good! We had to find what we could use as a rack since we don’t have one up north at our cabin. We did whatever spices we wanted for the dry rub and shook everything together in a big ziploc to coat and it turned out delicious. Everyone did their own choice of sauce and tossed it with the wings in a bowl – WOW we were so impressed!

Omg! Disgusting. I just threw away 1,5 kg of chicken. That baking powder is overpowering the taste of the sauce. It’s unbelievable. How can you guys eat this. I will stick to my usual recipe.. my god I am sorry I tried this.

This recipe was EXCELLENT! Made exactly as written and they were great. Thank you for sharing!

Waste of chicken wings, followed the recipe exactly, the most disgusting chicken I’ve ever tasted, they were crispy but not evenly browned but just tasted of baking powder (i am assuming that was the flavour making them taste weird) maybe the other ingredients would be a good combination but certainly not with baking powder. Yuck

Wow!!! This recipe is simple and delicious. My husband being from Chicago says the sauce is so close to Mild sauce.
Thanks for this recipe!!!

All your recipes are great but these chicken wings are the best !

I made these delicious wings and they were a hit! I was asked to bake some more!!

Hello Lauren, my chicken wings were baked beautifully, however, without using any wing sauce, I tasted the baking powder. I will use this recipe again maybe using one tablespoon of baking powder instead of two. Thanks again Lauren

Loved these!! Thank you.

I followed this recipe exactly. They tasted like metal. Not a fan.

I made 60 wings for a party. Nothing but positive comments. So many people want the recipe. Skin was crisp and tasty and the meat was delicious and tender. My new go to recipe for wings. I made the Buffalo brown sugar sauce and it was fantastic.

WOW 4 pounds chicken wing straight to trash can thank you very much ! 2 Tablespoons baking powder really ? DON’T ATTEMT TO TRY THIS RECEPIE !

Using an aluminum foil lined pan can almost guarantee that these wings will stick and rip off all that great skin that is supposed to be crispy. My suggestion would be to use parchment instead. I made this based on the ratings. I cannot believe noone else had this issue.

this was a great recipe Lauren, kids love it!

This recipe is awful; I followed the instructions to the letter, but it’s incredibly salty. The wings were inedible.

Made for two people as an appetizer, to try. Package I bought contained give chicken wings and I halved the recipe. I used a hot sauce purchased at a Mexican store, labeled salsa picante. The sauce was HOT. I did my best to adjust and it was a palatable hot. The wings from the oven were crispy and really good. I had pre-cooked the chicken wings, stove-top for 15 minutes and could bake them for 30 minutes, achieving light brown and crispy texture. Will make again.

I made these without the cooling rack and they turned out perfectly! Great recipe!

I just put out a platter of these beautiful wings! They look just like the photo. I only had the baking powder with aluminum along with some bottom of jar without aluminum. It didn’t seem to ruin them. I used less sugar and added a small squeeze of catsup and sweet mustard. My husband and I both loved them. Your recipe is a keeper. Thanks😋

I used a bottled Thai chili sauce for simplicity tonight and have used others… but these are so flavorful they are delicious even with no sauce! And so very easy. It’s definitely on repeat for us now. We won’t be getting take out wings again. Thank you for this scrumptious recipe!

Excellent recipe.II cut back on the sugar.Added more garlic and paprika and stuff instead of a third of a cup of hot sauce.I did a half a cup. Wife loved them

Excellent.

Just a little too sweet but delicious make again cut back on sugar. Great recipe

This recipe is truly a game changer. So much that I want to try it with chicken legs. Would that be feasible?

British Cook here, good in theory but I saw it was too much salt, cut the salt amount in half, still FAR too salty!! Took only 40min in oven, don’t know how much salt you Americans can handle but jeez!! Otherwise good recipe.

I coated the chicken with a delicious combination of barbecue sauce and brown sugar. It was absolutely yummy!

“I prepared a delicious batch of wings for my husband, and he enjoyed them thoroughly. The flavor was simply mouth-watering. I am definitely going to make them again soon.”

Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, the BEST chicken wing recipe I’ve come across. I was blown away by it. The crispy chicken, the sauce, the fact I don’t need to fry them, it all just works in a harmonious way! Try it, you won’t be disappointed. Big thanks to Lauren for sharing!

I am mortified I used this recipe. Chicken wasn’t crispy and the skin was undercooked. That’s my fault for trying it! Never again!

Everyone loved them! Making them again. Thank you!

Win-Win! Lip-smacking delicious and I was able to please an extremely picky eater! Thank you!

I made these in February and back at them again. Amazing recipe. Fantastic sweet heat. These will be my life long go to wings recipe. Thank you for sharing. I must need to dive into some of your other recipes.

thank you…. I’m going to try this recipe this weekend

Just finished making these and they were great. I had less than 4 lbs but used the same amount of spice and powder. But I did taste it to be powdery (user error). Other than that they were good. Is there a per pound ratio you suggest for the baking powder? Thanks in advance they were good.

Best chicken I’ve ever made!

Very good recipe. Although I misread baking powder for baking soda and my wings were disgusting hah. The chicken was cooked perfectly though!

Easy to make. Very crispy. I made my own Buffalo sauce.

I’m sooo glad I tried this! Best oven wings I’ve ever made! Yummy!

I tried this recipe and it was amazing. Very simple and easy to make. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m making this for the second time and I just realized its supposed to be baking powder . We enjoyed it the first time so let’s go for it a second time! I promise the third time I make it I will use baking powder and not soda!

Have used this exact recipe many times. I used smoked paprika and a dusting of blackening seasoning.
I make them for my American Legion Post pitch-ins…they disappear

Yep, 5 Stars!!!! Made these wings this evening; they turned out absolutely delicious! I’ll not fry wings again. This will be my go-to for the future. Great color, great texture, succulent and moist all without the mess of frying and the whole pan hot and sizzling when I rang the dinner bell. I doubled the measure for paprika and for garlic, but used fine granulated garlic instead. But the credit goes to the recipe writer. 5 Stars!!!!

1st try… Easy and tasty.

The most AMAZING baked chicken wings I have ever had and so easy to make!! Highly recommend this recipe!

She made it so clear not to use baking soda. It could not have been clearer. Apparently you don’t know how to follow instructions.

I love this recipe! The spices are perfect and it DOES make a difference in the baking powders. With aluminum the coating is lightly crisp and without it has that brown color. It is important I would know lol. My son and I made this together he had so much fun coating them, he’s 10. Anyway I wouldn’t make my chicken wings any other way. I use buffalo sauce from the store and when the wings are done I coat my portion because my son doesn’t like spicy, and I put it in the oven for 2 minutes, OMG ! Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe nice & crispy,will definitely share

Made these following the recipe exactly. My husband said they were better than our favorite local place and I agreed. Will be using this recipe again.

These were great and so crispy and tasty…never thought baking powder would do the trick. As my husband is more the chicken wing lover,, he loved the sauce also.. Good job!

The sauce made these wings extra delicious!

These were very, very good AND CRISPY!!
Ummmm…..I didn’t see the part about the wire rack and put on Pam coated foil. They didn’t stick and tear the foil.
OK, Lauren. I hate it when people say they made the recipe but they did this or that instead of this and that.
That said, I did not have smoked paprika. So I googled the next best thing and was cayenne pepper and or red pepper flakes. I used the cayenne pepper and removed a pinch, lol and put 2-3 shakes of pepper flakes. I did everything else the way you said to and MMMMMBOY. Yummers!! My husband and I really liked it. Now I need to go get some Paprika to try it the right way. But thank you for this. (I didn’t try your dipping sauce. sorry…) The husband is a straight hidden valley dude, lol.

Very good. I’m not very good at cooking chicken. I followed recipe, came out very good.

Very good recipe. Thank you so much for sharing this. The wings were crispy and juicy. I will definitely be making them again. No need to buy take out wings anymore.

Turned out perfectly! 😋

These were seriously delicious!!! I’ll be making them again!

I have tried homemade chicken wings many different ways. I love wings and I am very picky about the texture of my wings. These wings were the best homemade wings I have ever made. I made a few edits because we like spicy wings. I added 1/2 tsp of Cayenne to the dry dredge and only used 1 cup of brown sugar in the sauce. It was a great sweet heat. I will definitely be making these again.

Is the 432 calories for the whole 4 lb or do you have any further information related to calories per Wing or pound. Thank you

This is the most delicious baked chicken wing recipe I have ever found. My husband does not like the wings I had been baking, but he absolutely loved this recipe. The sauce is outstandingly Good!! This is definitely a keeper!!! Thank you for this recipe and I give it a 10 plus. (I didn’t have the aluminum free baking powder so I used corn starch) ❤️ this.

So good! Chickens wings aren’t difficult, they just take a little bit of prep work but it’s so worth the trouble!
This recipe is easy to follow and the outcome was fantastic.
Don’t hesitate to try!

I made these exactly as instructed. They turned out SO good. I actually preferred them to fried wings since a bit healthier as well. For the hot sauce I used Franks hot sauce mixed with sweet Thai chili. Gave it a nice sweet hot.

Amazing! I’ve Googled many recipes and this is the first time I’ve ever left a review. The wings were flavorful and crispy, even without any sauces that I added later. So glad to not have to deep fry them to get that crispy skin.

The wings were good and crispy-UNTIL I sauced them. Then they became soft and mushy. I like to bake at 350 on sheet pan with wings coated in oil and sprinkled with dry rub, for about an hour turning once. They stay crispy when sauced. I think the baking powder breaks down in the sauce. And yes I used aluminum-free.

This is my first attempt in baking wings in many years. These were fantastic! They were crisp and delicious and I realized quickly I hadn’t made enough. I followed the recipe exactly and I’ll never make them another way. These wings will be on my menu for a long, long time.

Crispy delicious wings, even without a sauce! I used the convection roast setting on my oven and sprinkled a little Frank’s Red Hot sauce on them so they didn’t dare get even a little soggy. You must dry them first and then put in the fridge for a while to dry them out a little more. It really makes a big difference for crispy wings.

A++ recipe. I used corn starch instead of baking powder, as I’ve had good crisping results that way. I’m from the Buffalo area, and to be traditional, used straight-up Frank’s Hot Sauce (no added sugar) along with Ranch and Blue cheese dressings on the side, for dipping instead of tossing it all together. Celery sticks on the side.

I made these for the Super Bowl. Only thing I did different was adding a little BBQ sauce which made a delicious glaze. The baking powder really made the difference. Delicious.

Perfect recipe. My husband was worried about the “Frank’s Hot Wing Sauce” being too hot, but it was perfect with the brown sugar.

Made these for the super bowl and they came out great. I used baking powder with aluminum and it was fine (what is the difference with non aluminum baking powder?) Will definitely do this recipe again.

Faithfully followed recipe. WAY TOO MUCH BAKING SODA. Smelled like fish while baking. Extremely disappointing. This person seems to believe baking soda has no taste: WRONG.

I’ve been doing songs for years, maybe decades. Smoked, air fried, deep fried, you name it. These are THE BEST I’ve ever made or had. Thank you!

We made a lot of changes to suit our needs (used skinless chicken breast diced into large pieces; used powder with aluminum; less cooking time because of meat cut) however!… the flavoring and texturing was great! Absolutely recommend. We used the buffalo sauce but split the meat in half and also made a spicy Asian sauce. Perfect for home cooked wings!

I used your recipe and tweeked it with some of my ingredients. Your tip about baking powder was spot, the wings were very crispy. Thank you!

I have made these 3 times and they are the bomb! Since I am from Buffalo, would just add that we add a splash of vinegar to the sauce

Wow just wow. Followed the recipe to a t (except the sauce I only used 1/2 c brown sugar) and they came out perfect!! Super easy and soooo delicious! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Not big on the after taste. I think it is due to the baking powder.
Don’t think I’ll be making these again.

I’ve been making these for a few years now and as I reflect on looking it up again for the Super Bowl party I’m hosting I just want to say this might be the best internet recipe of all time. This has completely ruined wings for me. This is the only way I can eat them now. True wing Nirvana.

5⭐ these came out amazing! ,Thank You for sharing

I also don’t like to take nice crispy wings and toss the in a sauce…..to me it makes then less crispy. So, I took frozen wings out last night (only 8 pieces since there’s only two of us and we have lots of other goodies for the Super Bowl) and added several shakes of hot sauce to the freezer bag and let them marinate and defrost in the ‘fridge. I dried them well today and they are chilling in the ‘fridge until I’m ready to toss them in the mix and bake. Hoping the overnight gives them a little kick !

Discovered this recipe and it’s great. Really easy and indeed the wings are crispy. I find it takes more than 60 mins so depends on your oven. Turn often to get even crispness. I use 2/3 cup brown sugar rather than 1.5 cup and it is sweet enough.

For the light brown sugar; packed or not packed?

Definitely my go to for wings. We toss them in Guy’s Kansas city bbq sauce. Excellent.

Easy peasy & delish! Love them not dumped in hot sauce as well! This recipe is bookmarked!

Ignore my last comment on salt. I accidentally used a full teaspon measurer thinking it was 1/2 🫣. That is why my 2nd batch was extra salty lol.

I’ve made these a couple times and love love the crunch . I have cut the salt in half, but for some reason taste super salty even without sauce on it. For the life of me I can’t figure out why because it’s hardly any salt in the recipe. I have had to use baking powder with aluminum in it till I can get aluminium free.
Could the baking powder be tricking our tongues?!
Anyone else have an ideas?

Wow! These wings were a breeze to make and tasted better than any we could have bought! Will make this recipe again.

These are the BEST wings ever!!!!
I didn’t change a thing!
Easy to make and this is my go to wings recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh -my baking powder had aluminum sulfate in it but didn’t seem to matter.

I made this recipe for dinner tonight and it was a hit. So delicious! I’ll be making again soon.

I work for a place known for their wings. I couldn’t wait to go in and tell the kitchen staff how AMAZING these wings were!!!! I’m making them again tonight. They are just Perfect! Btw, if some people don’t know the difference between baking powder & baking soda, they probably shouldn’t be cooking 😉

What a wonderfully delicious recipe! The chicken wings were so crispy and flavorful. The sauce has just the right amount of kick. A definite keeper!

Made it like suggested and was disgusting- had to throw away all the chicken wings. The baking powder was definitely too much should have been a lot less!!!

This chicken wings recipe is so good! The sauce is a big plus, too! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe

I am trying this recipe tonight.
For your information Arm & Hammer pure Baking Soda does not contain aluminium – nor apparently do any ‘modern’ Sodas.
I am using Arm & Hammer so I am hoping the skins will be tasty.. Roger

Tried these tonight . Followed the recipe exactly. Delicious !
Perfect for NFL PlayOffs .
Thank you for the recipe !

This is the best chicken wing recipe I’ve tried. I will only use this one from now on. My wings always turn out perfect! Great flavour, meat falls off the bone and crispy!

This recipe was AmAzInG!!! My husband and two kiddos were raving about how delicious it was and told me to make sure and print this for our binder of repeat recipes!

I just checked my baking powder, and it doesn’t say it’s aluminum-free. Is it okay to use? Wings are in the over as I type this..

Really good recipe…they came out great…super crispy and flavorful! Thanks!

I’ve made these for my family prob like 4 times now. They are perfect and crispy! We love them.

I made these wings because I didn’t want to fry them in oil and they turned out really well. They were flavorful and not dry at all. We used our own sauce, but the wings were great without any sauce. Thank you for the great recipe. The only change I made was I used 1/2 tsp of salt as opposed to 3/4 tsp salt due to some reviews saying they were too salty. I will definitely make these again, my family loved them!

These were absolutely delicious!!
I cooked them as you said and because someone was anxious,(😁)I broiled them for about 5 minutes to make them brown and crispy. I had three dipping sauces-and they were truly great.
Thanks!!

This was my top search result for “oven baked chicken wings” and it was PERFECT! I used a store-bought rub, and then basted with bbq sauce after 40 min. They were crispy but juicy and absolutely delicious!! Thank you!!

Great recipe! I did not toss with the sauce. I had company so I let them choose what dip they preferred. Ranch, BBQ….etc. Will make these again! Everyone enjoyed!

You neglected to say if the oven temp was for conventional or a convectional oven. I used your temp at 425 in a conventional oven. I actually raised it to 435 after turning the wings 2 times at 425. This is a great recipe. However, the sauce is great depending on how spicy you want the sauce. If you want a spicier sauce, use less brown sugar. Everyone has a different spice tolerance. This recipe is great. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

I’m making these tomorrow, has anybody made them ahead of time and put in a small Nesco to heat?

Thank you so much for this recipe, it was the first time my wings got crispy.
5 Stars+

I followed your recipe to a T and omg, amazing!! They came out crispy and delicious!! I even did the sauce. I will say, I was skeptical at first because the hot sauce to brown sugar ratio but now it’s my favorite wing sauce!! Sweet, sticky abs just a hint of spice! Great job!

Not very good. Way too salty. Gritty. Won’t make again

Finally a crispy recipe for baked wings!

The idea of the wire rack is to eliminate turning.

I’ve used this recipient with adjustment since I was 5 69 years ago…my dad taught me ty for sharing with the world…

Loved the wings. I used my own sauces, and most definitely used Clabber Girl Baking Powder. I might cut down a tiny bit on the salt, but everyone loved them. Will definitely make again!

Terrible recipe. Baking powder gave it a bad taste that couldn’t be overcome with two different sauces. Cooking time was way off leaving wings dried out and resulted in me throwing out the majority of the wings. You need to pull this recipe off of the internet. 40 wings ruined!

I made these for my husband and he said they were great… but I’m so confused about the sauce…. I used 1.5c white sugar+1 tbsp molasses as substitute and cooked til dissolved with franks red hot sauce. I refrigerated for later … and when we went to use it a couple hours later it was like solidified to the bowl 😂like you could hold the bowl upside down and it stayed in it. We warned it up a bit and it was edible…. Did I read something wrong? At least I’m not Dave though hahaha

Regarding question, very good question, about the amount of light brown sugar. I’ve actually made twice and did think it was a lot but it was so good let it go. Just now I made with 1/2 cup and it was still very good! The 1 1/2 cups might be a typo?

outstanding

One and a half cups of brown sugar seems like quite a lot. Was that supposed to say one and a half Tablespoons, or do some people like a cup and a half a brown sugar with 1/3 cup hot sauce? No judgment, just curious.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST WINGS I’VE EVER EATEN. My family devoured them and want the recipe. Thanks.

yummy … best ever, hard to stop from eating them … thank you … Bill

They were delicious. Our whole family loved them. I added 1 tsp of hot spice and I will put in 1 1/2 tsp this time. I will make them every week. Best I have ever had

Wings came out delicious and crunchy. the wings I got were large. I baked them in my convection (fan) oven on 400 for an hour which might be too long if I followed the 425F as instructed. My husband and I loved then but my son thought they were overcooked so keep an eye on them. I didn’t use the buffalo sauce.

These wings are awesome. Better than going out. Thank you for the recipe.

I hardly ever do reviews. This is absolutely delicious!! 5 stars all the way! I tweaked the brown sugar used about 1/2 of what the recipe called for and added about 3 tablespoons of butter to the sauce a well.

poor folks don’t know their baking ingredients,
i’ve used the baking POWDER… lol before and they are good… Cheers…

I was slightly nervous about cooking chicken wings without any oil, but wow. Pleasantly surprised at how well they turned out! I used the Clabber Girl baking powder brand. Very crispy and juicy. Decided to use a dry rub instead of the buffalo sauces.

I made the wings ,used your temperature really good.
Good crispy skin .Thank you

Gotta laugh at people who can’t read the difference between baking powder and baking soda. One is fantastic. The other is awful. Lol. Making this tonight.

Really good and crispy! I just have regular baking powder so hopefully we survive the aluminum overdose. I’m going to look for aluminum free though so I can make these regularly!

These wings are awful. Putting them on a rack dried them out. No flavor. Terrible recipe.

My family loves buffalo wings and my husband like them extra crispy. This recipe was perfect for him. I used the same ingredients for another pan but this time with no rack since my boys like them a little softer. Worked perfectly as well, still some crisp but not as much! Thank you!

I made these tnight. Turned out great! Nice and moist. I used teriyaki and buffalo for my sauces. Could have been just a tad more crispier but i didnt want to overcook them. Will definitely make these again

These are best wings I ever made. Easy, tasty, especially the sauce. Thank you 😊

Easy to make and delicious tasting. Can the chicken be prepared ahead of time?

I’ve made these wings 3 times now and they are perfect every time. Would never know they aren’t fried and are a family favorite. Thanks for another great recipe.

Excellent! The baking powder is the key and it comes out very nice and crispy. I’m very satisfied.

I’ve made these wings 2x in less than a month ! This is a great recipe that gives crispy wings . We love this recipe and will use only this one for our rings . I seriously considering making this a New Year’s Day tradition. My wings never turned out crispy before so I’m grateful for your tips as well . Thank you ❤️

I have never left a review for a recipe but these are so amazing, there is a first time for everything!
Will make them often and the sauce will go on everything! Way better than BBQ sauce.

I made this recipe, Today for lunch/dinner and when I tell you it came out sooo delicious! I made a beautiful tri-colored pasta salacold) to go with your lovely wings.. thank you for the tip about the baking powder! I cooked the wings in my air fryer, thanks again, this is easy and quick!

Perfect recipe.. thank you!

Omgoodness!!! I am so glad I found this recipe. This was the first time I have baked wings. I’m glad I read the comments for some insight. I checked to see how many wings I had which turned out to be 2.5 pounds. So I used only 1T of baking powder and was happy to find that I had Rumsford. I made sure to turn them every 20 min. Man, they were so crispy and tasty! For the sauce, I used the Kroger brand Buffalo medium wing sauce. Next time though I won’t put the sauce on the wings, cause they tasted perfectly wonderful dry. Thank for posting this and for all the helpful comments.

One of the best recipes I have found for baked chicken wings!

What if I don’t have aluminum free baking powder—will it taste weird?

I love this recipe, this is my go to recipe for chicken wings! Wings come out nice and crispy on the outside and perfectly done on the inside. For the sauce I add 2 tbsp water and 3 tbsp brown sugar, just my personal preference for less sweet.

It did make the wings crispy but also very salty. I think next time I’ll do 1 tblsp of flour and 1 tblsp of baking soda.

Aluminum free baking POWDER! , not soda. Follow instructions and they will turn out great. I make my sauce differently so I have not tried this one.

Hubby Loved these wings A LOT!! I thought they were a bit salty, so will reduce when I make them again. Definitely need to take the time to dry the wings – it makes all of the difference!! Tossed half in Buffalo sauce and half in garlic Parmesan sauce. Both had really good flavor!

These are great. People don’t follow the directions and then come back to complain when they don’t turn out right. If you’re cooking more wings than the air fryer can hold, this is the very best next option.

Maybe I used the wrong baking powder bit these were AWFUL!

Good and helpful recipe for the wings. On the sauce: I did not add sugar. The correct way we Buffalonians make wings is to order them 🙂 but when we don’t live in Buffalo anymore and we have to make them ourselves, it’s Frank’s Hot Sauce and melted butter. That’s all. No sugar. No sugar! No sugar.

These were awful. $20 worth of wings in the garbage.

Yuck! This recipe was sooo salty, we had to throw out 3 dozen wings I made following this recipe. I think it was because of the baking soda. I wIll just follow my own yummy recipe from now on.

I forgot the baking powder but dried the wings really well. I made double the wings which took a little longer to bake. My family loved these!

They were awesome! Will make again.

Not good at all. Wasted money on wings for them to taste like baking powder.

Followed the recipe to the letter and they did not crisp, maybe a little but certainly not crisp.
I even cranked the temp up to 450 for an extra 15 minutes.

Thanks for the recipe. Made to spec. First, the Buffalo sauce recipe is super sweet. Wife loved that aspect, I prefer a more traditional buffalo sauce. Second, we kept our wings whole and only trimmed the tips. Took 50 minutes and prob could have pulled sooner. All in all this recipe was yummy. Note: Our home still smelled like fried wings – I didn’t see that coming.

Hands down the best wings ever! My husband is very picky regarding hot wings. This was such a winner, that I prepared these three days in a row. Twice for dinner and once for his lunch. Thank you for providing precise directions!

These were inedible. They just tasted like baking powder… I’ve made them before just using spices to coat the chicken and I think that is the way to go. Baking powder made these horrible.

Do not use baking powder! this really leaves your wings tasting bitter even with the sauce..

Tried making them today as a trial run before football season hits, perfect recipe!

I don’t know what happened but mine are not crispy and they have like a weird coating. Not sure what happened, first time baking them (usually I fry them).

Thank you

It took me almost an hour and a half. They were definitely large wings though. Worked perfectly. Thank you 🥰

Easy and so yummy! Like other people have said, the wings are tasty without sauce. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is the best chicken wing recipe ever and always my go to! I come from a culinary background and graduated C.I.A. In Hyde Park, NY in ‘88! Not in the field no more! The recipe has worked for me 100% of the time, and is always my go to for wings! It hurts my heart reading the negative comments because we have raised a country full of idiots that can’t follow directions! #1… 4# of chicken wings is a family pack…Thank you for the recipe!

Luv them Lauren, smokin wings. after I had them a few times I backed off a little on some sugar and added melted butter as a variation, wasn’t bad either. Thank You🍗

I made these wings with the honey barbecue sauce. Wings were perfect after cooking 40 minutes and my husband loved them.

Best recipe! I am one who does not use a sauce I prefer them plain with perhaps honey mustard or just plain. Plain they are so good.
they are truly crispy but they are not burnt. moist and tender. My partner who is particular loved them and asked we make more often. done! This recipe is good because I do not care for chicken.

I opted for flour instead of baking powder and slightly adjusted the other spices to taste, they came out perfectly crispy and super tasty. Will definitely make it again.

Best recipe for wings, better than the air fryer.
I have used this recipe before and I will always use it for my wings. They even taste delicious with no sauce at all.

Best recipe! Thank you so much!!

These came our crispy indeed, but you can feel the baking powder in your mouth. it is very unpleasant, and I even used les than the recipe called for.

So instead of salt I used lemon pepper. Instead of paprika (because I didn’t have any) I used Cajun. You would think too much salt but it was tasted perfectly balanced. My kids ate it plain and just had sauce on the side. However for me and my husband I combined garlic Parm and sweet teriyaki sauce together and tossed some wings in there. Delicious! Delicious flavor, delicious crisp by following exactly the way it says. My family was impressed that I made crunchy chicken without frying it! Love it so much they want it again tomorrow lol. Thanks for this recipe and method

This recipe makes delicious wings! I will make them again and again.

I have eaten a lot of chicken wings but never cooked them. After making a mistake at the grocery and winding up with 4# of them I figured it was time.
The crispness of the wings was really good. I never imagined the addition of baking powder! The sauce was too sweet for my taste but I can experiment. They reheated well at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes and even developed a “fall off the bone” texture. I will do this again if I can keep my smoke alarms from going off.

Easy fast and delicious

My chicken wings came out excellent best recipe ever

my boyfriend, did not like this recipe. went out and bought wingstop instead.

Serious question…virtually the same recipe, ingredient wise with two cooking methods….oven bake or air fry. The nutritional info is wildly different Cal: 432 vs 277 , carbs 42 vs 2 , sodium 586 vs 311 and sugar 40 vs 1

I made this yesterday… only thing I did was add half of the amount of sugar because I didn’t want them super sweet.. prefer spicy better and added a squeeze or two of hot honey and EVERYONE wanted the recipe and the wings were gone within seconds!!!!’n excellent recipe

Made this wings per recipe other didn’t toss them in sauce. Had ranch on the side.
Great- crispy-flavorful
I will be doing again

Made these last night. They were a HIT !
Used corn starch since didn’t have any non-aluminum free baking powder and they were nice and crisp. Didn’t use the brown sugar in the sauce, because we prefer non-sweet. Added cayenne to sauce since we like it very spicy. Thanks for the recipe!

This worked perfectly but I did pitch the baking powder that had aluminum in it. The flavors are great and they r as crisp as a deep fry. My wings Connoisseur husband loved them.

This is my go to recipe. My wife gives me crap if I fry ANYTHING, so I tried this recipe several years ago, and love it. Of course, I change up the sauce on occasion because I like to experiment.

Makes a mess of the oven but man, you would never believe they weren’t fried.

I wonder if the people who say the wings were too salty accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder…? Baking soda has a much higher salt content.

Revision of my original rating. Baking powder shoulld be removed from this recipe and replaced with plain flour. The strong bitter taste of the baking powder ruined all of my chicken wings. My guests Could NOT eat thwm. Horrible and embarrasing. My sister and I made these together and followed the recipe exactly. Baking powder should NEVER be used as a chicken coating!

I should have made more. They were gone within minutes. Will definitely add to my entertainment menu.

Perfection!!!

I made these wings recently and we loved them. Was wondering if anyone has tried this same recipe on the grill.

I made this recipe for chicken wings and it was fabulous, best recipe ever…..comments from my friends was- they had never tasted good chicken wings like that, crispy and soooo good. Not sure if the baking powder makes the difference and the way to cook the wings is the reason for such crispy chicken and not greasy. Thank you!

I tried this recipe and it was sooo delicious!
Thank you for sharing the recipe with us!

absolutely delicious I am making them again this weekend..

I’ve made wings similar to this except for the paprika and garlic salt. I don’t know which spice it was but these were inedible (even though they looked delicious) they were so bitter we had to throw them all out.

We can’t have wings any other way…delicious!!

I followed the recipe as written. They were very good but could not get them crispy. I even left them uncovered in the fridge for 8 hrs. The sauce is 5 stars

Great recipe. Turned out delicious! Didn’t have any Cracker black pepper on hand so substituted Cracked black pepper instead

These turned out great. The best oven baked actually crispy wings. I got a pack of 15 whole wings on sale for $9 so I tried this recipe. They were so much better tasting than the 12 wings a restaurant near us sells for $25. Made sauces to our own heat liking.

Made it for my boys who loved them! I did not make the hot sauce though, I just used the base recipe and when cooked through I added Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce.

Perfection !

Great recipe overall but I would leave the brown sugar out of it – it detracted to the sauce. Use some melted butter instead

Simple solution if they are to salty don’t use any.problem solved😊

Followed recipe to T. Used baking POWDER but the wings came out EXTREMELY SALTY. Really disappointed! They were crispy, but otherwise unpalatable. Not sure why everyone is raving, unless they have a taste for very salty chicken. Spent a lot of time on these and can’t eat more than one before having to down a glass of water. Salt lick. Btw, baking powder has baking soda in it. It’s one of the ingredients. Live & Learn!

Just finished this recipe and was the best wings I’ve ever done. Next time will try on Big Green Egg and will let you know how they turn out using charcoal.

Amäjsing! These are great, family and friends love it. Im making them for the 3rd time today as I found Franks hot wing sauce over here in Örebro, Sweden! Tack så mycket!

1 1/2 cups of sugar? I don’t think so. Come on. You would eat more sugar in your main course than you would in a dessert.

Very tasty and easy! The baking powder was a game changer and made them perfectly crispy.

Not sure if did something wrong but the wings were extremely salty, I could only eat 2 before feeling sick. I used three quarters of a teaspoon of salt. I also cooked them for 40mins following the recipe & they were quite over cooked.

Used this recipe a LOT. Crispy wings ARE crispy. Easy prep with a few ingredients. Thanks

This recipe is fantastic! These have to be the best wings I’ve ever had. I cut the light brown sugar down to 1/2 cup like someone else suggested and it was perfect for my preference. I’ll definitely be making these again.

Really great recipe! Thank you. Had no idea baking POWDER could produce such excellent results in oven baked chicken wings. Everyone was blown away! This is an all-timer for me!

Will never use baking soda again. Flour would be better. Very bitter.

Sounds good I might do that tonight

This really worked well – I’ve been following the Alton Brown steam first approach, but had heard of the baking powder rub and my search brought this up – really great! Well Done!

Tried this recipe today, they came out great! Didn’t do the sauce suggestion, used a bourbon BBQ sauce instead. Thank you so much!

Did your baked chicken wings last week. They were a hit!! No oil.
Doing them tonight!
Thanks for the recipe.
Jim

What can I use if I don’t have baking powder?

I made these for dinner tonight, they were a big hit!! My grandson wants them like this from now on . Thank you for the delicious recipe.

This recipe is really simple and the wings were crispy and delicious. Best ones I’ve ever made.

I love this recipe for getting a good crispy wing. My boyfriend and I tend to use different sauces each time (so I don’t follow the sauce portion of the recipe) but the base recipe is perfect for getting a crispy wing you can put any sauce on!

These are the best crispy wings I ever made everyone loves them, have given the recipe to my friends and they love it also. the only way to enjoy Crispy Chicken Wings. thank u for sharing your recipe.

Yes I tried this recipe and it was great. I used BBQ sauce and then ranch seasoning mix and they was delicious. Thank you for sharing.

These are incredible! My husband says they are the best wings he’s ever had!

Should I thaw out frozen wings before baking?

This Crispy Baked Chicken Wings recipe WORKS. The wings were good dry. The sauce very sweet, but doable. Will adjust to suit my taste next time. Thanks for sharing!

This is a staple in our house now! My husband said they’re better than a restaurant’s wings! Super easy to follow recipe, great flavor and crispy!

Cook time not long enough. Had uncook chicken wings, almost two hours

Found that the chicken got char burnt so I adjusted temp and times keeping regular checks on the chicken.

These wings are the best. I serve them with Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing. DELISH

When you follow the recipe and use the correct ingredients, these are fantastic!

These were my first time making wings, so I didn’t know what to expect. Omg, so easy and absolutely delicious! Better than any restaurant!! No joke! Thank you!

I made these (without the sauce) for the Super Bowl and my kids loved them. (They liked the spices on their “plain” wings).

Best baked wings we ever had they were crispy like fried but without the calories or frying

Made these for the Super Bowl yesterday. Baking them was great and easy!
Is the brown sugar measurement right? I added about half that and they were still very sweet.
Will make again but only add probably 1/4 cup at the most of brown sugar.

My husband found and followed the recipe. Our best wings ever, even without the sauce.

Excellent recipe! The only way I’ll make wings from now on.

These were FANTASTIC! My first time making wings. Easy and delicious!!

I made these for Super Bowl and they were perfect. I prepped that morning, put on a sheet pan and stuck in the fridge until I was ready to bake. Realized I didn’t complete the baking powder step, but they still came out very crispy.

Very impressed. Mixing it up I had some doubts but results came out perfect!

This one is a winner! Look no more!

Delicious! Perfect for the Super Bowl🎉

The baking powder added to the crispness but I find it to also adds bitterness.

I thing special. Cooked 1 hour …done but certainly not crispy

Amazing recipe! They turned out even better than I expected!

Tried this wing recipe. Didn’t like it at all. The wings stuck to the rack and pulled the skin off. Even after I sprayed it down. Had to finish in a Air Fryer.

These wings are nice and crispy. My husband said best wings he ever had!

Great easy recipe. I got my wings ready and put them in the fridge for a couple of hours to dry them out. It was excellent.

I did this recipe but I didn’t have the baking powder so Instead used a teaspoon and a half of corn starch it worked perfectly the wings were crunchy and seasoned just like deep fried

I made these tonight and they turned out awesome! I did put my wings on a sheet pan in the fridge uncovered for 24 hour to dry out before hand. I turned the wings every 20 minutes on a rack for an hour and then rested 5 minutes before eating. Great Recipe! THANKS!

I’m about to try these for an entry into a wings contest for the Super Bowl party we are attending. I’m very concerned about the amount of Baking Powder. 2 tablespoons sounds like a lot, especially when comparing to other recipes calling for a pound less wings tops out at 1 tablespoon of baking powder, some even less. I will definitely report back on my results.

Spice mix was really bland.

I made those and my husband and I really enjoyed them. Easy to make and did not miss the mess!
Nice and crispy, great flavor and delicious in the Buffalo sauce. I use a little melted butter, honey and Franks hot sauce.

Made this recipe as a test run for Super Bowl Sunday and my kids loved it! Thanks for this delicious recipe!

Very tasty, but I over cooked them by about 5 to 10 minutes. Will try again for Super Bowl but not overcook.
I did not use the Buffalo sauce, made my own. Tossed with wings and put back in oven for 10 minutes, should have stopped cooking 10 minutes earlier the add sauce and put in oven to dry for 5 minutes.

It’s my second time making this recipe and both times came out great! My husband says he can’t/won’t go back to Wingstop after trying these 😁

Perfect chicken wings!! My family loved them!!! Thank you!

Our 8 lbs of wings were inedible. Not sure why mine were so different than so many other reviewers. The baking soda tastes like chemicals and tastes disgusting. No amount of sauce could cover it. I was so embarrassed when all 6 dinner guests couldn’t eat them. They looked beautiful, just tasted wrong.

Absolutely perfect – thank you so much for the recipe!

I didn’t care for these wings. The coating had a funny taste. I believe it was the baking powder. I’ve never used baking powder as part of a coating mix. Then again, it’s not my recipe. I personally won’t make these again.

Excellent

Soooo good. I gave up on trying to making good wings years ago because they were always soggy. These were perfect and crispy

Very easy to make with great sauce. Really sticky but sooo good!

the ingredients for the sauce looks very heavy on the sugar

When they’re finished brush them lightly with a little olive oil / any oil and put them back in for another 20 min. Best crispy wings ever!

Outstanding flavor and crispy too

Baking the chicken wings on the wire rack, & turning them every 20 minutes worked great to achieve the desired crispiness.

Every one at the princess party loved them

Made this recipe tonight! Excellent!! Made my own honey bbq dipping sauce. Great taste with or without the sauce. used Rumford Baking POWDER, no aluminum. Ingredients enough for 13 plump whole wings with tips on a 9×12 baking sheet. Definitely a keeper!!

I love your recipes. I love how adaptable they are for people with allergies and tolerance to things like heat I.e. spicy. Thank you

I was looking for a good wing recipe for New Year’s Eve when I stumbled upon this. I didn’t get my hopes up because I’ve made wings in the past and they just didn’t turn out. Well…these will be added to our weekly rotation. We loved them! My husband and son both raved about these wings and a guest thought they were store bought! Thank you!

Coating flakes off while baking. Taste is terrible,all you taste is salt and baking powder. Ruined one dozen chicken wings. Worst chicken wings recipe I have tried. Terrible

This recipe is a winner! We followed recipe except for the aluminum free baking powder which was not available in the stores on New Years Eve. We used regular baking powder and thought these wings were absolutely delicious. We also used less sugar in the sauce. Just our taste preference. Very pleased that we made this recipe.

These wings are delicious and perfect! My men are huge wing fans, so I decided this NYE, to bypass the local restaurant soggy skinned under or overcooked wings and try these. I followed the directions to a t and they turned out perfect. I used fresh Pilgrim wings and followed all the directions (except I used baking powder with aluminum;). My husband can’t stop bragging on how great these taste!

Excellent recipe! This is actually the first time I’ve ever made chicken wings, since it was just not something I ate growing up. But this recipe (cut in half) was a hit for our family of four and I think we all wish we had made more.

Delicious, easy to follow recipe. My boyfriend stated that you can’t make a crispy wing in the oven, but you proved him wrong!

These wings were SO salty! I’d recommend not adding any salt at all. They were crispy however.

This wings turned out faboulous! I used only about 1/2 of the sauce.. I like mince very lightly sauced. I loved the flavor however, I might use less sugar next time. I think I would have liked it just a little spicier and less sweet. Overall it was great and a “make again!”

Yes I suppose if you ate all 4 pounds of wings that is a lot of sugar. I made it along with a few more appetizers for a group of 12 and had rave reviews . Thanks for concise recipe instructions. I cooked for 40 minutes and kept all ingredients as per recipe.

Absolutely loved this recipe!! Who would have thought baking powder could make baked wings so crispy! My husband always requests this recipe when we plan wings for dinner! Thank you Lauren for your ingenuity. I use your site constantly for great recipes!

incomplete recipe. Needed some type of oil to make the coating work. I sprayed olive oil and that appeared to help. Every other recipe I looked at had at least some sort of oil in it.

I have made these several times and they are a huge hit everytime! I will be making them for a crowd on the new year’s weekend. Thank you for the great recipe!

I made these wings last night, and served them with the blue cheese dipping sauce and the buffalo sauce in your recipe. They were outstanding. Everyone devoured them. The wings were crispy and delicious and the homemade dipping sauce and buffalo sauce were both a big hit. I found that once the buffalo sauce cooled, it thickened up considerably and also seemed a bit grainy, so I just warmed it up in the microwave for 30 seconds and it thinned out perfectly. Thank you for such an amazing recipe that my whole family now considers their favourite!

This recipe is by far one of the best. The last and the ingredients for the hot sauce was mind blowing and very tasty. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome 👏!!!

My wings came out soooo good using this recipe!! I didn’t make the sauce but the wings were crispy and, best part, low carb since no flour is needed. I used baking powder with aluminum and it still came out delicious.

These wings were awesome. I was looking for wings that weren’t breaded and didn’t require sauce (although I know this recipe calls for sauce, I did not use it for health reasons — we are avoiding foods with sugar). My husband said these wings were perfect and I must agree. I made them with a side salad and oven roasted potato wedges. Thank you for such an amazing, easy and deliciously crisp chicken wing recipe.

Can these be cooked a day or two in advance and reheated on game day? or do they lose crispiness if they are precooked? ………… and can they be frozen? and stay crispy?

My first attempt at making these tonight. I loved how crispy they were! I did not make the sauce, but they tasted good anyway! On a negative note, they were a bit grainy. I tried to follow the recipe but probably did something wrong. I may try again with regular flour next time. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Tried it and husband MADE me cook it 2 days later again! for Sunday football with the guys. Followed the recipe exactly as shown 👍🏽👍🏽

Great recipe. Easy and delicious wings!

Thanks for the recipe! We stopped going to restaurant to eat chicken wings after I tried your recipe.
I can even put any ready sauce from store and tests great ,the most important is the crispy chicken !

Thank you for this recipe! I made these tonight and they are the best crispy wings I’ve ever made. I followed the recipe but didn’t even add any sauce. Yummy!

Very good.

Delicious! Made them only with the dry ingredients and everyone loved them. I made these with fresh wings. Any tips on prepping with frozen wings or does this recipe only work best with fresh/ thawed chicken. Thanks for a great easy meal.

4 stars just because I didn’t make the sauce. Like the other reviews, it’s because of the sugar, since we’re on low carb, no sugar diet. But the chicken wings are so delicious. And it was cooked through. The ‘meat fall off the bones in your mouth’. Oh so good. Baked as directed. Turning every 20 minutes x 5.

I have made these wings following this recipe several times. They have turned out fantastic each time. I have served them to guests and all have raved about them. The baking powder definitely adds a crunch that normally only comes with deep fried wings. Thanks for developing this recipe!

What? I didn’t feel good about the MASSIVE amount of light brown sugar in the sauce recipe (the sweetest of the browns) in a bottled Sauce that didn’t need any additional items from the start. So I did 1/2 c with the other instructions. IT WAS REVOLTING 🤮! It was sugar. Im an excellent cook. I tried to fix the pot for an hour and wasted an entire bottle of reds and a second bottle of sweet baby rays Buffalo. The cooking of wings was terrible too and they tasted like horrible baking soda. This is Not a real person, definitely not a cook. DO NOT FOLLOW.

Delicious but we will admit I was apprehensive about the buffalo sauce when I saw the amount of sugar in it but went ahead and tried it anyway. It was good at first then the sugar just overpowered the wings! I will make again without using the the buffalo sauce part will just stick with Franks hot sauce and butter.

These were Awesome!!!
Easy to make everyone gobbled them down.

Way too much baking soda. Could not eat and had to throw away all the wings.

For easier coating, just dump the dry mix into a gallon zip lock bag with the chicken and shake.

I have my own chicken wing recipe and my kids think my wings are too spicy and won’t eat them. I made this recipe and they ate 3lbs of it very quickly. Well done.

For what it’s worth, I literally squeezed each piece of chicken individually in a fist full of paper towels until I had to peel the paper towels off (a sackcloth towel would work, but definitely don’t try using napkins for this part).
Also, spraying/oiling the cooking rack made it super easy to flip, and the rack helps air/heat circulate around the meat. As for the dry rub…I sprinkled a little, moved the meat around, repeated this until they were all evenly coated with no powdery spots. Not sure if any of this will be useful for anyone else, but figured I’d share since I appreciate it when others offer their tips. Enjoy these fabulous wings! 😃

Wow! This came out perfect! It was my first time making hot wings at home and I was a little concerned after reading some of the comments, especially since I didn’t use aluminum free baking powder, and I’m not sure if I used a full 4lbs of chicken. These were pretty meaty so I cooked for 1hr and 5 minutes, flipping every 20 minutes, and 5 minutes extra just to get a little more crisp. I hate slimy, pink chicken, so this was perfect for me and my family. We ate most of them without any sauce. They were delicious, and definitely NOT bitter or grainy or slimy. Perfect crisp and flavor! Thank you so much for this easy, delicious recipe!

Aluminum-free baking powder is very hard to get where I live ! Any alternatives?

The best wings we’ve ever had! Made them two nights in a row!!❤️

Seems to be easy to make, and delicious too. Can’t wait to try this, yummy for my tummy.

Very easy and nice and crispy.

Cooking for today’s dinner side dish

Love these wings and yes they are so crispy..I am alone so I don’t cook that much chicken but I do make the rub like I had that much chicken and then I put on what looks good. And they turn out awesome. I just keep the left over to season my hamburger that I cook on my little Georgie and they are great too. Thanks. Shari

The baking powder made the wings gritty but it was probably me. Won’t be making again.

Turned out great, used a different sauce though.

Looks real good and easy. I am planning on making them tomorrow. I’ll post again

I wasn’t sure on the method to cook wings successfully so I used this one. My wings were frozen. I broke them up under cold water, dried as instructed, cooked them for around an hour, turning 4 times or so. Since I did not have the sauce mentioned I just used Diana’s brand of honey garlic bbq sauce to coat them after cooking, and it was great. Definitely making these again. Thank you Lauren!

I was a little worried about using baking powder, but turns out for no reason! My family said these were better than wings they’ve had in a lot of restaurants! Definitely my go-to wing recipe from now on. Thank you!

My chicken wings came out golden and crispy and recipe was so easy. I left some of them whole because that’s the way hubby likes them.

Thank you…very easy and simple.

If the only goal was crisp, this works. If you want to add not overcooked, try something different. The cooking time is sufficient to roast a small chicken.

Love this recipe! I have made it a few times, great wings! I make my sauce with butter, Franks hot sauce and honey

I found a strong taste of baking powder unpleasant.

My new best way to oven fry chicken!!
Delish and scored 💯 with the family.

If you steam the wings for 10 minutes first, then cool for about an hour, THEN bake in the oven at 425 for 40 minutes, turning once, you will have juicy, wings with crispy skin and HALF the fat! Plus, the steamed water makes for good chicken stock.

Hands Down, this is the best crispy wing recipe. The toweling off of the water/juice is key. My whole family loves them and now they make them for themselves. Thumbs Up!

This recipe was amazing! I followed everything exactly up until the sugar in the sauce. I just did a cup of Frank’s buffalo wings sauce and a half a stick of butter melted. I warmed the sauce before coating the wings. I really don’t know what people are doing wrong to give these low ratings. I called around till I found a place that sells the aluminum free baking powder. They have it at whole foods! The wings came out crispy and perfectly cooked!

Excellent method. Changed a little on the spice mixture (added black lime and some hotter pepper.
Difficult to post a review because of pop ups.
I also spritzed a little oil as turning the wings.
Took 45 minutes on convect at 425

Not sure what happened to me but I have followed the recipe to a T and mine where so so salty! Inedible! Had to bin it unfortunately.

Fantastic recipe! Delicious crispy wings. Dry rub or sauce, they’re great either way.

This is a really good recipe!

I hate deep fried food, these are crispy and flavorful even without the sauce. My grandson said they’re better than the restaurants.

My family loves when I make these. It has become a family favorite.

This may sound silly, but by turning do you mean rotating the tray or flipping the wings over?

My son and I love this recipe thanks for sharing it

We have made these wings at least 3 times! They are perfect every time! Thanks

Your baking powder tip is EVERYTHING. Getting away from eating deep fried wings and if I hadn’t made these myself, I wouldn’t have known the difference.
We dual experimented between using the oven and using our air fryer. 390 for 26 minutes, flipping halfway- the crunch was insane. And tossing them in the seasoning mix beforehand-didn’t even end up saucing them afterwards. This is our new go to for wing nights! Thank you so much!!

can these be cooked from frozen, or must they be thawed? thanks!

Coated the wings using the dry ingredients and cooked for 50 minutes, turning as suggested. Brushed with a store bought buffalo sauce and cooked an additional 10 minutes. Excellent !

Just tried these and the wings came out great and crispy but I tried the buffalo sauce listed and it was waaay too sweet. It wasn’t terrible but I think next time I’ll use a lot less sugar and more hot sauce

I made this recipe and followed the directions with one exception, my baking powder as it turns out is not aluminum free but they were still outstanding, so crispy and delicious that I ate the leftovers the next day without reheating and they were still super crispy and yummy

I butchered my own wings. Patted each individual wing dry. Added dry rubs used no salt seasoning.
I don’t have a drying rack so I just put them directly on the cookie sheet with some Pam cook them 45 minutes at 4:25 turning them every 20 minutes. Let them sit soak them in the juice I made with brown sugar hot sauce touch of water and some agave! Yum Yum Yum

All the haters should be ashamed!!
Yes I just made this and my six-year-old son loved it and I loved it! Probably the best wings I’ve ever made!! Five stars for this one!

Wings came out delicious added melted butter also 👍

This was my first time trying baking power for wings. I was hesitant once the negative comments were read here. I had them in the oven by the time I read so I had to trust that I can properly follow a recipe and that they would be fine. They were amazing! I tossed with Honey BBQ and sprinkled lemon pepper seasoning!! Thanks!

Wings are placed on a wire rack. The foil goes under the rack in the baking tray.

Do not do this recipe. I am a very good cook and this tasted horrid. I tossed the whole thing. WTF? I thought it was a bad idea to use baking powder. Worst ever.

This recipe ruined a whole bag of wings. I followed the recipe to the letter, and the wings stuck so bad to the pan that all the skin and half the meat fell off. Very displeased with this recipe. Absolutely disappointed completely!

Weird soggy slim, grainy outer shell, the only thing I could do to save these was deep fry them. They were nasty and weird. Genuinely confused how this got such a high rating

Best wings I ever ate!!😀😀

Cooked my wings for 45 minutes instead of 60 and they came out fantastic.

I made this today. 2 out of the 3 of us liked it. I was the one who didn’t. The house smelled great, the wings were crispy but all I could taste was the bitterness many mentioned. I will make again simply because it was an easy item to make and everyone else liked it.

best wings ever, I used the upper rack on my grill. For the sauce I used arizona gun slinger. perfect crowed pleaser.

This is a family favorite! Definitely a keeper, for the sauce I did a homemade honey BBQ sauce, because my family doesn’t like super spicy. But the wing recipe was a big hit!

Unbelievably crisp yet succulent hot wings! The baking powder takes “crispy” to a whole new level! Can’t believe they’re not fried.

This is the only way I make these, now! Easy and perfect wings anytime! Only conversation while friends and family munch is exclamations of how good these are. Thanks for sharing!

These were amazing! I patted the wings dry individually (4lbs). I did put each wing into the mixture to coat then I patted it before placing on the wire rack.
I cooked them for 1 hour, turning once. I added just a tad more hot sauce than the recipe called for and I dipped the wings individually then placed back onto the wire rack and served from there.
Everyone loved them!

I have made this recipe twice. Made sure I bought the correct baking powder with no aluminum and they taste bitter. No amount of sauce takes the taste of the baking powder away. It seems that some of the wings don’t even absorb the powder and they appear like they were just tossed instead of crispy. I cooked them as directed and I don’t get it. I really wanted to like this, so much so I cooked it twice thinking I messed up. I love wings and want to try a healthier option but I can’t use this recipe again.

I have made this recipe several times. I agree with former comments. You only need to lightly sprinkle wings with dry mixture. If you coat to heavy the baking soda will over power flavor. I absolutely love this recipe. I compliment them with my homemade bleu cheese dressing. The chicken comes right off the bone. I give this receipt 10 stars

Actually crispy! Used my own sauce recipe but followed the chicken coating and cooking instructions (mine were small and only took 35 minutes), but YUM!

Made these wings but also made the honey bbq sauce recipe to toss them in. OMG…AMAZING!! Def a keeper!

The first time I made these, they were delicious. The second time, not so much but I think I know what I did wrong. Maybe someone else can comment if I’m right. I made the dry ingredients as in the recipe but I only had about 1 1/2 pounds of chicken wings and the recipe calls for 4 pounds. I don’t think you are supposed to coat the wings like you would if you were breading them. As they baked the powder remained dry and weren’t as tasty. Maybe that’s what some of the other people with negative comments did too.

Horrible bitter wings

Always my go-to recipe. And I’m a middle-aged, beer swilling, wing-loving, dad-bod guy who knows how to eat. So easy and SO good!

Very crispy. Kids wanted them as is with no sauce. Tasty and easy. Thank you

The worst tasting chicken wings I’ve ever had

These were excellent wings. I roasted them for about 30 minutes total. I turned them after 20 minutes so that they could get crisp. I did not use buffalo sauce as it is too spicy for me, but I did add Tony Chachere’s original creole seasoning to the baking soda mixture.

Made these for the Super Bowl Party because I figured the local wing shop would be overwhelmed. My husband said he liked these so much better! I will absolutely keep this recipe!

Baking powder is the worst idea I have ever tasted…just awful

I made these for Super Bowl LVI and the baking instructions were spot on! Turning the wings every 20 minutes made all the difference. I baked them for one hour and they were crispy and perfectly done. Followed your instructions with the exception of using parchment paper on the baking sheet which I highly recommend. The baking powder kept them crispy without chancing the “gumminess” of using flour. However, it did add a slight bitterness to the coating. I’m going to try it again only with sifted flour to see if I get a similar crisp without the bitterness. Great recipe…thanks for sharing. Tim

Simple and excellent.

These taste so good
Will definitely fix again.

Wonderful recipe.It is imperative that you use ALUMINUM FREE baking powder. If you don’t have it you can make it by mixing baking soda and cream of tartar. Google it for the measurements

I made this recipe with minor adjustments.
Thanks for sharing

Made for Super Bowl today👍👍👍👏👏👏..Winner Winner Chicken Dinner…Love this wing recipe..your sauce👍👍plus 2 more different kinds…Love that I didn’t stand over a deep fryer today👍👍

These are really great. I’m on a low carb diet so baked wings were what I wanted. I cooked them for the full hour and they were so crispy. Only carbs were the baking powder and blew cheese dressing. I used Frank’s buffalo sauce as its carb free and they were perfect. Only problem I had was stopping eating them. Thanks so much!

The wings came out of the oven perfectly crispy. Fantastic recipe! Thank you.

I think you made an error with the amount of brown sugar in your hot sauce reciple. You have 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar. Should probably be 1 1/2 tbsp of brown sugar.

Great recipe – worked perfectly. I just went with the dry rub and did not sauce them – they were fantastic straight out of the oven. I had no idea about using baking powder but what a difference in the crispiness. This is definitely the best recipe I’ve found for crispy wings from the oven. Thanks!

When making the baked crispy chicken wings what can be substituted for the wire rack?

Perfection!!

Maybe add some warning to the recipe to be careful and not mistakenly use baking soda instead of baking powder. 2 hours of work, carefully washing and patting them dry, and turning them every 20 minutes, all in the trash. They are inedible now. It was my own mistake, I didn’t read carefully. But perhaps add a word of warning so that the next person doesn’t repeat my mistake. The first time I made them they came out perfect, sadly today the whole effort was in vain. I feel even worse for spoiling an animal product.

Love this recipe!

worst wings ever. My daughter and i love all wings and threw these away

Awesome crispy wings! Very tasty even without the Buffalo sauce. My family devoured them; some with sauce and some without.

GAME CHANGER! I have struggled with wing recipes for a long time. Your suggestions for completely drying the wings and using the wire rack combined with the baking powder rub made such a huge difference. Thank you!!

The baking powder makes the wings taste terrible. They looked great but sadly inedible.

The recipe is easy, fast and GOOD.
I made my own bbq & ranch dressings. YUMMY

Won’t make this again. The baking powder made me feel ill. I had to remove the skin from the wings just so they would be edible. Followed the recipe exactly but I thingmk it must be missing flour I r something because the bakingvpowder I s too over powering.

Best wings ever!! These have a very crispy outside and tender delicious chicken inside. Sauce was perfect…just the right balance of heat and sweet. My wife is not a lover of wings, but she absolutely loved these…picked them clean. Fantastic recipe!

The recipe looks inviting. I’m looking forward to making these wings. Looks good.

I am making these now. So far they smell wonderful. Only thing different was after drying the wings I coated them in the bowl individually then placed on a wire rack. After cooking for 30 minutes I spritzed a canola oil on them to help them crisp more.

Is there a way to use frozen wings in a bag? Best way to defrost?…

Coating didn’t cover all the chicken. Pretty salty. Tasted the salt more than anything. Followed directions to a T including aluminum free baking powder. The 1 1/2 cup of light brown sugar makes it really grainy. Heated up for along time.Gonna pass on this unfortunately. Sorry. Thank you for your time in sharing this recipe though! Definitely love trying new things.

Crispy and delicious

Laura
I do much enjoy your recipes. I have made a few of them, but forget to take a picture, as we want to dig right in.
Everything I have made was wonderful.
You are my go to chef. Thank you so much.

Very tasty, but I did not achieve the crispiness advertised. I am a single person and only prepare two wings at a time, so my spice and seasoning measurements were probably off. Perhaps you could adjust them for me. After all, it’s the crispy I was looking forward to. All in all, the recipe did work. Thanks for your attention.

Best wings I’ve ever made. Really don’t need any sauce. We just ate the wings right out of the oven. Really good 😊

Exceptional and restaurant quality!

This is a fantastic recipe! The wings always come out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I even got my mom hooked on this recipe!

I made a dozen of these and they’re TERRIFIC! Thank you for the recipe!
Be well

These were fantastic! Only change was using melted butter and Frank’s hot sauce blended together for a dipping sauce.

I have made these twice and they are delicious and easy to make.

I loved them! They turned out great!

Wings were perfectly crispy and tasty without the sauce! Note that you can make your own aluminum free baking powder by using one part baking soda and 2 parts cream of tartar. I use that combination in many delicately flavored baking recipes ( like biscuits) to avoid the aluminum bite. Also I used General Tso’s sauce instead of Buffalo sauce. Yummy!!!! And a little less heat.

Best crisp ever! Posted recipe on cabinet door ! Football season staple💖

Well doing your way to the T will see

I have never made wings before but my younger son loves them. I made these as a treat and he said, “Mom don’t let this go to your head, but these are the best wings I. HAVE. EVER. HAD.”
And apparently his friends agreed. A little more time consuming and messy but completely worth it. Thanks!

Awesome recipe! Quick Question, could I make these ahead? If so, would I cook completely and then reheat without drying them out, or should I cook for less time?

I followed this recipe to the letter and the wings turned out Wonderful! I didn’t toss them in any sauce as I found out that they tasted wonderful on their own. I did add some grated parmesan cheese to the coating mix and they were addicting! Delicious and so easy!

These are hands down the best crispy oven wings. They were a hit here in Buffalo! No brown sugar in the sauce though, we just do Frank’s and melted butter with a tiny splash of vinegar. Good bleu cheese like Maria’s if you can’t get Rooties, celery sticks and it’s perfection! I will be making this on repeat: )

I have yet to make these for anyone that does not tell me these are the best wings they’ve ever tasted! I talking the football fans that get wings ever game from there favorite place cooked their way, and still declare this wings the best!!

Excellent sauce, just the right amount of spice with sweet!

These were AMAZING!!! Honestly better than restaurant wings. So good!

This s second time I made these. Love them they are the best of the best !!! Will never use anything else!!

Great flavor. Very crispy. Only problem I had was first four in bag used all of the mixture.Assume I didn’t get them dry enough as all the other eight only used same amount of mixture.All were good.

Yummy

I have a son who is 14, and I go thru alot of chicken wings. I have been frying them all summer which was a MESS. This is so much better! The baking powder trick was genius.

Made the chicken wings recipe. It was good!!!

Not even slightly crispy! And mine were dry, dry, dry!

These are delicious. We served with different sauces on the side. Our guests loved them even w/no sauce!

Totally loved the recipe, quick no nonsense and excellent results! I’m the oven no standing over there stove after work – two thumbs up!

Tried this recipe for the first time last night! Amazing! So easy in the oven. Crispy and no mess! Thank you for this!😊

What a great recipe. They were super crispy and tasty.
Definitely the best wings I’ve ever made and I’ve made a ton. The sauce was delicious. I will be making my wings like this from now on.

Third time making these tonight. 5 star raves from both family and friends! Made exactly according to recipe, thank you so much for sharing!

So good! I probably doubled the seasoning. I feel like I added too much baking powder, I could taste it at times. Also with my oven 425 was too hot so I set it to 375. So easy, i’ll cook them this way everytime. Buffalo sauce was on point. Amazing thank you.

This was my first attempt at making chicken wings and they turned out great. I did not make my own sauce but the coating for the wings was perfect. They browned up nicely and were very crispy. A keeper.

Wow!!! Didn’t believe baking wings would make them crispy. Done that. These wings were fabulous. No more frying wings…ever!

I spent many a night eating chicken wings at the Anchor Bar (even before they became popular everywhere else.) You’re absolutely right about Frank’s Hot Sauce and butter for the sauce and blue cheese dressing – especially because we always ordered them ‘suicide’ hot.

Thank you for the instructions. This just impressed the family big time tonight!

Really enjoyed this recipe. So easy . So good.

These were the worst…baking powder alone will leave a horrible taste however mixing the baking powder with flour yields a tasty crispy wing. The instructions omitted the flour

BEWARE! DO NOT DO THIS RECIPE! I tried this, and the wings tasted poisonous! It’s literally bitter from the baking soda baked onto the wing. I had to pour about 1 qt of vinegar on them to neutralize the baking soda. Then I had wet soggy wings to reheat and re-sauce. Absolute nightmare. And yes, I just used normal sodium bicarbonate (Arm&Hammer) baking soda.

I made this recipe and it was absolutely delicious… crispy and the sauce was amazingly sweet spicy! Definitely will make this recipe again

In the nutrition section – does this include the sauce or just the wings? I’m starting to pay attention to these things now and it seemed like a lot of carbs if it was just the chicken. Thanks!

These look like good tips. Will try it this evening. However, in Buffalo, you don’t dip the wings in the bleu cheese dressing (never ranch), you dip the celery in it so it cools your mouth between spicy bites. Also, the sauce is Franks plus melted butter. More butter for milder, less for spicier. Wish me luck!

Wonderful and easy! Changed the spice rub.

Never tried baking powder on wings. These were perfect! Awesome crunch

I will be using less then 4 lbs of wings, will the amount of the rub still be used?

Turned out absolutely perfect.
My boyfriend was so impressed.
We’ve tried many other recipes, and this by far was the best.
Thank you.

Made these today for football game snacks. Followed the recipe exactly – put the sauce on half the wings and left the other half plain. Both were great! The baking power & seasonings made for a nice texture/flavor thing. Later, for a light supper, put the leftovers under the broiler for 2 minutes each side. Both the sauced wings and plain wings were still great! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It will be my wing go-to from now on.

Great recipe! My go to now. I read in another recipe to toss the wings with the spices and baking powder and let them sit on a wire rack in the frig for several hours or overnight. That makes them even more crispy without being dry at all. Thanks.

I just placed our wings in the oven. The recipe was quite simple. I am 77 years old and I have a number of health issues. Finding easy recipes is important to me. I also enjoy trying you recipes to serve my husband.
Phyllis Bonds

Can these be prepped the day/night before?

Great recipe. I used Buttery Steakhouse Rub and Smoked paprika, along with garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. with the baking powder. I was able to find aluminum free baking powder. It really does work, The chicken wings were crips and delicious, My son who is a great cook and a food connoisseur loved them! He said they could be eaten alone, without sauce. This is a keeper!

Husband sent me your recipe as soon as I got home with 4#’s of wings from my local store. I have to say for crispness you got this spot on! I have my own Mrs. V’s sauces I use, so I can not coment on your sauce. I use 2 types of hot sauce, a stick of butter, my own dried basil and some minced garlic. Yum 😋 Yum!

My wing connoisseur boyfriend said these were the best he’d ever had, loved that they were baked. I made them as directed, but used our favourite store bought BBQ sauce. They were very crispy, a quick coat of sauce and served with home fries. Better than any takeout!

The wings I purchased were rather small, so the cooking time had to be reduced. The flavor was excellent! I served them with both ranch and blue cheese dressings. Trader Joe’s onion was used instead of plain salt. It will be served again and most likely I’ll change up a bit on the spices. Gloria

You had me until adding sugar to your sauce and no butter.

Oh I love these! I’ve been making them for at least a year ( I think) they are so so good. I’ve made them as written ( they are great) and I’ve switched up the spices many times to suit my cravings. They always come out well. The batch I’m cooking right now has Frank’s red hot seasoning and a ranch packet added. They smell so good! Of all the times I’ve made them they’ve came out so crispy ! Thanks!!

The wings were amazing and crispy, definitely the best I’ve made. I wanted to ask though, if it’s possible to substitute some of the baking powder for a type of flour (wheat, corn, potato) as I did find that even though I used aluminum free baking powder it still had a slight acid/soda after taste.
Thank you!

Delicious! We like our wings dry and crispy, so didn’t toss them sauce but dipped them in various sauces. We used smoked paprika, and next time we might try hot paprika instead.

I followed the recipe exactly. They did not get crispy, the taste is ok, I won’t throw them out, but they didn’t come out even remotely like the picture. I’m thinking maybe I should have coated them in egg before the spices, I don’t know. But I won’t use this recipe again.

Love the recipe! It’s the only way I cook wings, baked with this recipe! Easy and delicious.

What a waste of time and money. They taste like baking powder. I’m a good cook. Thought I would try something new. Horrible flavor.

These were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly as written. The wings were crispy and the sauce was incredibly delicious. I usually just make a hot sauce with Frank’s and butter but the sweet heat of this was a nice change. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Great recipe! For a good Buffalo sauce, try equal part Frank’s hot sauce and melted butter. May not be the healthiest option but it’s better than many restaurants make these days.

I think the aluminum free bsking powder must be important for crispy wings. Run out after 50 lbs. Used regular baking powder for the last 10 lbs were not as crispy.

A+
My entire family loved them! I made them exactly as directed. They did take a full hour to brown for me, but so worth the wait!

This is the ONLY way to make wings. Crispy every time. Just remember BAKING POWDER with no ALUMINUM in it. Delicious every time. I use my own sauce, I like hot, my husband does not! Thanks for this recipe!!

These were excellent! Have been trying to get really crispy chicken wings done in the oven for years. These deliver, best I’ve ever had.
Followed recipe exactly.

If this recipe requires 4 lbs. of chicken wings and serves 8 that means it’s about 2.5 wings per serving??? Is that right?

Best oven-baked wing recipe that I have made. Great flavor even without the sauce. Will definitely keep this recipe on hand.

Just found your site. Didn’t make the wings yet, but I can tell that they are going to be absolutely delicious! You do an excellent job of presenting the recipes with the videos! Even someone whose never cooked, can easily follow the recipes! Job well done! Thank you!

SO SO YUMMY! I just made these tonight and they were a hit! They turned out nice and crispy, and the sauce is very sweet and sticky and yummy. I wouldn’t exactly say the sauce is healthy, but hey you have to splurge sometimes! 🙂
Thank you for this great recipe.

I’ve made these several times and they are perfect. My young kiddos love them too. Thank you so much!

Love these wings, my kids love them with no sauce. I leave out the salt and lightly salt while cooking instead. We found them a bit too salty otherwise. But that’s just a preference. Saw another posters comment about adding onion powder, I’m going to try that tonight!

Chicken crisped beautifully. We thought the sauce was too sweet and I didn’t even put the full amount. We like them hot! Will definitely cook the chicken the same way again!

I can’t believe I didn’t realize how stupid it is to put baking soda in. It doesn’t cook out properly! It tastes absolutely awful 🤮 such a shame! Waste of wings, no one could eat them!

I like a lot of your recipes, but this one does not taste better than scratch. It actually made us a little ill. I think it was the large amount of baking powder. I do not recommend.

Excellent! Made these tonight! The absolute best recipe we’ve found thus far for wings. I halved the recipe because I only had approx. 2 lbs of wings (so I halved the seasoning mix too but I did add onion powder to it) FABULOUS! They were done in 40 mins. and perfect. These will be our go-to wings from this point on! Thanks so much!

I few things to improve the overall recipe. I found that the dry rub mix didn’t go far enough even with the suggested 4 lb of wings and didn’t coat the wings
Also, the spicy sauce had to be modified with using alot more Frank’s Hot Sauce than was suggested. Mind you, this is a personal taste since our Thai family likes things more on the spicier side in general.
Overall, my family enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing you recipe! My family loved it. I skipped the sauce as my kids like it crispy. Will be cooking it again.

Far too much baking soda …. it actually flavoured the wings and gave them something of an unappetizing smell.
They were very crispy, and buffalo sauce helped, but I wouldn’t make them this way again.

I love wings and this is the best oven baked recipe I’ve had. Dry those wings! I did add a bit more garlic powder and used smoked paprika. I never thought the amount of spices would be enough but it was. I precut to drummies and used a quart bag of wings and that was great. I like wings fried but frying fills the house with that grease smell and takes much longer. I also cooked my wings longer than 50 minutes, but mine were pretty good sized. Delicious.

They weren’t bad but the not worse I’ve had.
Probably would have been better minus the baking powder and salt.
Just pay dry and bake – then add sauce.

The best baked chicken wings!!!
Really good recipe

REALLY GOOD – best homemade wings I’ve ever had. Need to have patience though, 70 minutes at 425 F turning every 20 minutes but Sooooo worth it!
thanks for the recipe – I’ll be making these again!
-Keith

Perfect for that person who’s on a diet that wants that crispy chicken craving !

Rave reviews on this recipe. Follow the steps, make sure the wings are dry, bake, turn, when done, plate with the dips/sauces

Not horrible, but I won’t use this cooking method for wings again. Give me a grill, charcoal or gas, and I will make crispier, tastier wings every time.

Can these wings be fried in a fryer?

I haven’t even added the sauce yet (made up my own) but this is the first time my baked chicken have EVER come out CRISPY!!! they are delicious!!!

Lovely and flavorful, nice and crispy, I got a big thumbs up from everyone with these wings.

The wings came out great! So crispy on the outside but flavorful and juicy on the inside. I used a different sauce so I’ll be saving this recipe for future meals. It’s so versatile.

Is that a typo in the wing sauce recipe?
1/3 c Hot Sauce to 1 & 1/2 c brown sugar? That’s an absurd amount of sugar omg

I never comment on recipes, but had to on this one….five star! Have been looking for a way to do crispy wings in the oven for years…this is it! This is a keeper, thanks for sharing…

Worst chicken wing recipe I’ve ever tried waste your money on this nasty tasting garbage chicken

This method makes really good chicken wings! I used Cajun spices and garlic bbq sauce so I can’t speak to this recipes flavor but the oven temp and time was perfect. After a 40 minute bake time I tossed the wings in sauces and put them under the broiler for about 10 minutes- flipping every 2 minutes. The results were crispy and sticky wings that had my husband smiling throughout dinner.

This recipe makes wings as good as any wings from
a wing place!

Absolutely delicious!!!!!

Loved this recipe!!! Easy to follow instructions and the wings were moist and juicy. Will definitely make these again. Husband was in love with them. Thank you sooo much!!

Buffalo is my hometown and these are better than most pub-grub fried versions. Awesome recipe. Definitely a keeper. Many thanks!

These were the best wings I’ve had in a long time. I left half of them plain with just the seasoned dry rub flavor and coated the other half with a honey bbq sauce. Both were exceptional! I live at high altitude, 10,000 ft., and I cooked them for a total of 60 min. turning them twice. After 40 min. of cooking, I brushed melted butter over the tops of them, and cooked for another 20 min., then brushed a coating of butter on one more time and cooked for about 5 more minutes. They were crispy and delicious!!

I’m not a big chicken fan, but do like wings for some reason. When I found packages of large wings at my local co-op, I decided to try making some. After searching recipes for baked wings, I chose this one to try. We LOVED them. The recipe was easy to follow and the wings turned out great – just spicy enough, crispy, and delicious.

Not very crispy even though I steamed and chilled the wings first. The sauce is a bit tame and sweet. Thanks though.

This recipe is great. I’ve used it twice and the wings came out perfectly both times. I added some dry parsley and a little bit of Adobo for extra flavor (it’s the Caribbean in me). Then I tossed the wings in Truff sauce (www.Truff.com). It’s a truffle hot sauce. Best “truffalo” wings ever. Thanks for the recipe!

Awesome recipe. Sauce was sweet and perfect. Will create this recipe again.

New wing recipe for us, and we loved it! Baking powder had aluminum, but they still came out crispy. A touch of cayenne pepper in the dry mix added a little more spice! I’ll try corn starch instead of baking powder next time, which browns fried chicken and shrimp really well.

Another good recipe I’m sure I’ll use it again and again,thanks!

Delicious……one of our new favourites……

I was a bit skeptical at first with baking powder but the wings came out nice. I didn’t have aluminum free baking powder so I’m not sure if that’s the reason they were not crispy. I wonder if spraying the wings with non-stick spray would help as a lot of recipes called for that. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to the coating. Finally I tossed them with store bought Carolina Gold BBQ sauce. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make them again.

Amazingly easy and taste great. You can use less baking powder and salt especially if using a sauce. They are crispy and the buffalo sauce is outstanding. I add a few drops of Tabasco.

Just made these. They were nice and crispy. I don’t like much “heat” and really liked the sweet heat of this sauce. My husband doesn’t like sauce but said this sauce was really good. Thanks for the great recipe and good tips!

They turned out perfect! I would probably lessen the salt and I did use baking powder with aluminum (all I had). Tasted fine. I used smoked paprika and I highly recommend to give them a smoky flavor. Thank you for this great recipe!

Was hard to find aluminum free baking powder so I replaced it with potato starch. It was a hit! Will save this recipe!

Couldn’t get them crispy.

Made this recipe last night. Such a weird flavour. Was it the baking soda? Wings were not crispy either.
Will not make again, and wouldn’t recommend.

I was looking forward to this recipe and was rather disappointed. My youngest and I didn’t like them (too much baking powder taste) but my husband and oldest ate them up and enjoyed it. I’ll keep the spices but will definitely decrease the BP, and maybe add a pinch of c. starch and/ or flour next time.

Best and crispiest wings I ever made in the oven!!!!! I served without sauce but put several sauces on the side. So. Good!!!

Quick question – when cooking the wings in an Emeril Air Fryer — what Temperature, and how many Minutes? =Ken

I have bookmarked this recipe and use it every time I make wings. I add onion powder as well as garlic powder. I turn them twice and cook for almost the full hour. I prefer them without any sauce but my kids like sauce which I serve on the side. They are crispy and tasty and no added fat.

OMG….. easiest and best tasting wings I’ve ever cooked. Did use too much salt but was my bad cause I just threw in without a measurement. They really do taste like fried! I doubled the paprika and garlic but don’t double the salt. Now to see if Mom will like tonight.

Can’t wait to make these! Approx. how many to a serving?

These taste like fried wings with0ut the mess and calories. Delicious !

Will try this tomorrow evening, Mom is gluten free….this sounds wonderful! Can’t wait to taste! Especially love the idea of doubling the rub. I love alot of flavor.

My kids ask for these wings all the time. Our all time favorite with the Honey BBQ sauce. We do double the dry rub ingredients on this recipe to add extra flavor. I actually love them without sauce!

These were so yummy I’d give 10 stars if I could. I appreciate the fact that there are so few ingredients and the flavor was mouth watering. This is going into my rotation, no doubt!

Why baking powder and not just corn starch? Also, the recipe says to adjust the racks but then doesn’t say which rack to use. I assume the lower rack?

The best “baked” crispy chicken wings recipe. My family loves wings, however I was looking for a recipe where I could get the crispiness without deep frying. So happy I found this recipe. Truly a family favorite

Once the wings are patted dry with paper towels ( you don’t have to go too crazy, here ) set them on a rack, uncovered, and refrigerate them overnight. They will dry beautifully in the fridge, and will be ready for their spice/baking powder rub coating, baking up to crisp perfection.

These wings are crispy and delicious. Medium sized wings were done in 60 minutes.
I highly recommend this recipe as written.

I have been making these for quite a while and they’re amazing!

This recipe is so tasty! I’ve made it 3 times and it’s worked out well each time! Best part, we have 3 kids 6 and under and all of them like (the nonspicy version of) these wings! YES!

I made this chicken recipe last week for finger food while watching the football game. It was delicious.
I used boneless chicken, a teflon pan, and prayed with spray butter. Hats off to you for sharing it.
This recipe will be my all time one I use from now on.
Big thank you
Rich n Jeanne.

These are definitely going in the rotation! I didn’t have enough baking powder so used baking soda + vinegar substitution and they turned out great. I used small wings, cooking time was about 50 minutes, just to make sure they were fully cooked. Thank you!

I made these but they were way too much baking powder tasting for my taste. They looked wonderful and cooked well, but without a lot of sauce, I could taste the strange salty taste.

First time I have made wings. I followed all the tips and these turned out crispy and delicious. The only thing I changed was not using a wire rack, because I don’t have one. I cooked these on parchment paper in a convection oven and at 50 min they were perfect. Thank you for the recipe.

These were NOT our favorite. The chicken was very crispy but you can taste the baking powder on the wings. Not a good taste at all. The sauce has good flavor, but WHEWW it’s HOT! Maybe less hot sauce and no baking powder next time around .

I will never buy wings, moving forward I’m making them! These were so good !

These are so delicious! I used parchment paper instead of aluminum foil. I coated the parchment paper with a little olive oil. There was no metallic taste that some people complained of in other reviews.

I made these for Super Bowl Sunday. They were crispy as promised, but had a terrible metallic taste. I had to cover them in sauce, which I was trying to get away from. I will not use this recipe again. Very disappointed.

I love crispy chicken wings, but have had a difficult time getting the wings to crispy texture. Followed the recipe exactly and the wings came out the way they were supposed to. Only caution is to watch them carefully while cooking as they can get too crispy – almost dry. I cooked at 425 temp for 45 mins. I probably should have cooked for 30 mins at that temp. I also did not cook the amount pounds called for in the recipe – probably about only about 20 wings. I think you can modify the with different seasonings to make spicy or something like pepper or lemon wings. Mine did not have the mentioned metallic taste, but I will take the tip about ensuring the baking soda is aluminum free. I will make again and ensure I don’t cook too long.

I have made these a few times but instead of baking powder I used flour as a substitute. The first time I made it according to the recipe and the second I used a Cajun seasoning blend in the mix as well. My wife is a huge fan of crispy wings so this was a win!

The only way to make wings! Followed recipe completely (did use HOT paprika), and it’s perfect Will use this all the time. I did modify the sauce. Doubled Franks hot sauce and halved the sugar. Nice kick to it. May add more Franks next time. Overall…the BEST!

Was considering buying an air fryer, tried this recipe instead and it is perfect! My husband said they were the best wings he’s ever eaten! Thanks!

My family loves wings prepared this way. Won’t use any other method now. Perfect just as it is.

Got a new oven with an Air Fryer setting. This is the second time I’ve made them using the air fryer.
Outstanding!!👍

Honestly, I’ve always grilled or deep fried our wings and have tried numerous rubs, sauces, recipes,etc. Many have been outstanding. I found this recipe 2 weeks ago and have already used it 3 times. The last time I varied just a little. I skipped the rack and used parchment paper, turned every 15 minutes, and after drying thoroughly as suggested I applied the seasoning and actually squeezed it to the wing in my hand. I found this really helps binding to either skin on or skin off wings. Many recipes are excellent but this one wins for simplicity, juicy and extra crispy. Thanks Laura Allen!! Tom and Kathy ,OIB, NC:)

These were great and simple to make! I added a extra baking powder and they ended up extra crispy. Did not use any sauce.

What an amazing recipe, it is very easy to make and follow 5 starts, yummy. I did chicken wings and drumsticks, and I was surprised the skin of the wings soaked the ingredients very nice

Great wings are a gift from the heavens for sure, but these were inedible. I wanted to love these! Made EXACTLY as written and yes, I used BAKING POWDER, not baking soda. They were truly nice and crunchy, but the metallic, bitter taste of the baking powder was reminiscent of chewing an aspirin tablet. We had to drown them in hot sauce and even then the sour taste was still there. I even went so far as to get a new container of baking powder for this meal, so I know everything was fresh. I have the spouse who will eat anything and he pushed his plate away after eating just a few. So bummed. 🙁

When it’s way too cold to BBQ and you hit the jackpot pull-up an oven recipe for wings! The entire family absolutely LOVED these wings. They can’t wait for the next time I make them.

I tried this to the letter. Probably the best wings I’ve ever had. Thanks

Great taste, crispy and easy!

These wings turned out to be the very best I’ve tried.

These wings are the best. Seasonings are perfect. They are the perfect substitute for fried wings..crunchy and tasty. I love them plain. I have made them 4 times so far. They are a keeper.

Really enjoyed the crispness of the oven preparation with baking powder. The buffalo sauce was way too sweet for our liking. Next time I will add more spice to the baking powder mixture and just use 1/4 cup Frank’s and 1/4 cup butter for the sauce.

great wings!!!!

Absolutely delicious. I paper towel dry my wings and leave them uncovered in a single layer on paper towel in a casserole dish refrigerated overnight..it dries them nicely causing them to brown more readily.
The flavor was sweet wit a tang.
I will for sure make them again.

Fabulous baked wing recipe and packs the crunch. Like me, you may be skeptical about the amount of coating, but the recipe is just enough. I didn’t have paprika so used chili powder and it tasted fine. I will definitely try with paprika.

Fabulous baked wing recipe for extra crunch. Like me, you may think the coating mix is not enough, but it is more than enough. I didn’t have paprika so I substituted chili powder and it tasted just fine. I will definitely try with paprika.

Way, way, way too much salt. Also the baking soda left a weird aftertaste.

I like my wings extra crispy, but peanut oil is expensive so thought I’d give this a try and pleasantly surprised. They honestly turned out almost as crispy as I like fried, but the meat was less dried out which is a downside to extra crispy wings usually. Frequently the ends, at joint especially dry out completely so this was actually more satisfying with the tender flavor and still substantially crispy! The only downside is they they take an hour, I actually did 1hr 10mins but was worth it for lazy Saturday with temps at 30f.

Omg. These were terrible! Too salty and had a metallic taste. We couldn’t eat them.

I have made these wings three times now and they are delicious. They come out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My family loves them!!!! Thanks for the great easy recipe.

Made these and the family loved the wings. They were crispy and easy to prepare. I don’t even care for wings and thought ok these are good.

Hello. I used this recipe to feed my three kids (15, 20, and 20 yo) an inexpensive, easy, and quick meal. I made a few modifications to the recipe because of the ingredients on hand. The important takeaways were the time/temp to bake and the use of a rub and seasoning, and the flipping of the chicken approximately every 20 minutes (mucho importanto). After about 45 minutes I brushed half of both sides of the wings/drumsticks with bbq sauce and both sides of the other half with Frank’s wing sauce, cooking for approximately 20-30 minutes longer. Most excellent. The skin was not crunchy-crunchy but well cooked, and the meat tender and j**cy. I put the chicken on a platter marked BBQ and BUFF, and added a platter of sliced fresh veg: yellow peppers, carrots, celery, cukes, grape tomatoes. It was a hit! Realistically, start to finish was 80 minutes.

I made this and my wing-loving teenage son said these were the best wings he’d ever had!

My hubby who is not a huge fan of chicken wings loved this chicken and the sauce (franks hot sauce…)

Delicious for being baked, made this recipe a few times, turned out very crispy but the chicken stayed juicy.

Trying again tonight for the second time. Our new go to recipe for wings. Love, love, love

My family loved them. 💜

made these last night- perfect and the sauce had nice heat & sweet mix.

Why the 2 rack placements?

These wings are the BEST ever. I have made them several times, and now place the wings on the rack on the sheet uncovered for 1 hour in my refrigerator to make them extra dry, before I toss them in the baking powder mixture. This makes them extra crispy.

Baking as I type. I am sure they are going to be delicious. Thank you for sharing.

This is superb!!!! Easy to make, mess free. Thanks so much for this recipe, it is crispy, delicious. Simply a finger licking!! I added cumin powder and cayenne:)

This was a tasty chicken wing recipe! It wasn’t as crispy as I thought it would be, but definitely not soggy or weighed down with lots of other stuff. I will definitely use this recipe again… hopefully in an air fryer (don’t have that yet). I made the buffalo sauce and agree that I could have used less sugar. Instead, I added a teaspoon of a different super hot sauce. Thanks for the recipe!

We made this and two other recipes. Everyone agreed that your recipe was the best of the bunch by far. These were so crispy and didn’t have all the batter in the way of the nice chicken skin. We’re going to make the next batch all with just your recipe and directions. Thanks for all the tips!

My husband said these are the best wings he has ever had! They are super crispy (thanks to the baking powder) and love that they are baked instead of fried. I put only 1/2 of the brown sugar the recipe called for so the Franks sauce was still a feature. Fantastic! I dipped each wings in the warm Franks sauce straight out of the oven and plated with celery and blue cheese. Thank you for this recipe, Lauren!

Confused. You say ‘skin side up’? WI vs have skin on all sides.

Easy and delicious!

Most delicious wing recipe ever!!!! The only thing I did different was to cook in air fryer. Amazing!!!

I absolutely love everything with a crisp and have a hard time finding chicken recipes that satisfy this craving. A friend of mine made these wings for me one night and I was blown away. I honestly cannot remember the last time I cleaned a chicken bone, meaning I ate all of the chicken. If you haven’t already you need to try this recipe!!

Recipe had merit but I thought it was too sweet. Maybe less brown sugar and a bit of vinegar.

My husband loves fried chicken which I rarely make because it’s so unhealthy. Made this for Sunday dinner and he LOVED it! He now says this is the only way he wants his chicken prepared.

Wings are THE football food in the SEC!!— Especially with our pent up expectations for some sort of Fall college sports normalcy in the pandemic. These were Perfect wings that stay crispy and have flavor without the greasy frying! I mixed the spices and baking powder and rolled the dried wings in it rather than sprinkling over the wings. My wings were large, but it still only took 50 minutes at 425. This is my new GO TO College football game day recipe tailgating at home instead of the stadium! GO GATORS!!

I agree, these wings are crispy and delicious. My new go to recipe for wings!

I have made many chicken wings, this one is my keeper, I will use the same coating for my crispy baked chicken as well, thank you for sharing!

Used the bones of your recipe. Was missing baking powder, but added sage, thyme and a little mace to the coating. Still resulted in wings with no leftovers.

Best wing recipe ever !! we LOVED them ! I will making these so much more now !!

Excellent!!!! Bets chicken wing recipe EVER! Crispy, moist and wonderful on their own or with any of the sauces. I added extra pepper and some cayenne, YUM! Thank you.

Loved them! So crispy! I made a lemon pepper seasoning and buffalo sauce. Great! Thanx

Your recipe says to adjust the oven racks to upper middle and lower middle settings but you forgot to mention why the racks needed to be adjusted. I assume you forgot to include instructions on rendering the wings at 250 for 30 minutes on the lower rack and THEN turn the oven up to 425 and move the wings to the upper rack and cook for 20 minutes then rotate the baking sheet 180 degrees and cook for 20 more minutes….and it looked and tasted like good fried chicken!

Great !

I usually do it with Frank’s Hot Wings Ssuce, Ketchup, and Honey. 👍

Thanks for sharing this recipe. My family loved it! We had just a handful of wings left over from a previous recipe and I tried yours just to use up what was left. Everyone was sorry we didn’t have more and now we are risking an unnecessary trip to the grocery store just to get more wings. (I’m wearing a mask!) 🙂 We were so surprised how nice and crispy the skin got without a ton of batter or a deep fry. We did find them a bit salty and when paired with sauces it got too salty. So the next time we’re planning to cut down the salt a touch and go to TOWN through a big bag of wings.

So delish!! My go to wing recipe. I had to double the chicken because my family at it all up with no leftovers!

My husband is a chicken fanatic And wings are at the top of the list. I have been trying to find a crispy wing method for years. This is super easy and super special. The only change I made was to put the wings in buttermilk for about 6 hours before baking. The wings were juicy inside, tender and crispy outside. I didn’t have time for any sauce…they were attacked once they came out of the oven. This is a winner!

Best wings ever. Cut the sugar to one cup so it would be spicier. Literally licked my plate.

Dear Lauren,
These were hands down the best chicken wings made in my oven. The recipe was easy, temps and oven timing exact and the clean up was next to nothing. Truly enjoyed these! Thanks!

Does it matter if there’s aluminum in the baking powder?

Just made these wings. Waiting to eat them after they cool for a bit. They look crispy and smell delicious. First time and recipe used for crispy oven baked wings and know it will be the only one I use in the future. Thank you, for this easy recipe. I had all ingredients in my cupboard and didn’t have to buy any other ingredients that I couldn’t pronounce or locate in a grocery. 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

This is definitely the best chicken wings recipe I’ve ever tried! I couldn’t stop eating! I loved both, covered in bufflo sauce and just these straight from the oven! Omg! When this crazy time is over, that dish will be THE MUST at my parties! Thank you thank thank you!

Absolutely delicious and great tips to make them crispy.

OMG!!! I made these wings for lunch today and they will forever be my go to recipe!!!! I only cooked 8 wings because hubby had already had lunch… but these wings were delightfully flavorful. I don’t have paprika so used smoked paprika instead… and my wings were small so finished cooking in just 40 minutes. I’m putting wings on my next grocery list.. will have to be a weekly treat, so much better than fried wings too!! I paired these wings with a sauce I found here https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/buffalo-sauce-recipe/comment-page-1/?unapproved=52028&moderation-hash=9f6cf3ab1a79616635b79d76540dbe1b#comment-52028 It had a lot of the same ingredients featured in you wing recipe and oh boy what a wonderful pairing!!!! Thanks for this recipe!!!!

Best crispy wings I’ve made to date. Rave reviews from friends and family!

Do NOT use that much baking powder! It should be 2 teaspoons not tablespoons. The wings were absolutely ruined and disgusting tasting with that much baking powder. I checked other recipes to realize this is a glaring error here.

Have you ever tried using smoked paprika? Just curious. I have wings thawing now for tonight’s dinner. looking forward to trying this recipe.

OMG The most amazing baked wings I’ve ever had!!!!!!!! Thank you for this!

GREAT recipe,followed exactlty bt added 1 tsp. smokehouse maple seasoning.Wings were crisp and tender on inside.Actually they came oI’mut better than when I used my air fryer.

Awesome chicken and rub recipe thanks for sharing!! I have to ask though, does the sauce recipe actually work?? Seems like an insane amount of brown sugar haha

Wings were crispy and the smell while cooking was incredible! However, they were too salty for my taste and I’ll reduce sodium next time. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

My husband loves wings but only if they are crispy. I made a batch for dinner tonight and he loved them.
Thanks for a fantastic recipe.

Made these last night and they were incredible! Truly! I will never buy wings again! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe! Next time I’m gonna alter the recipe and try lemon pepper wings! Now you got me going!

Could all wings fit on one side rack or will it need to be two separate sheets

Do you buy frozen wings and thaw them, or fresh wings?

Delicious! So much easier and safer than deep frying.

I wonder how the baking soda verse Baking Powder work out What would the taste of so much powers?

Looks yummy and delicious, can’t wait to try this chicken recipe for my family. Thanks for sharing!

How many wings are in a serving? Are the fat grams correct? That seems like a lot of fat since there is no butter in the sauce.

My husband LOVED these! Thanks!

I just finished reading recipe. It calling for 2tbs baking powder. Typo???

The cooking technique of baking to “crispy perfection” before smothering in a sauce definitely adds a flavor which is special and delectable. Your photos are incredibly well done.

Is that a misprint where it says to bake another 40 minutes at 425 degrees? Seems way too long at such a high temperature. I’d love to try this recipe to avoid the mess of frying but am nervous about that long cooking time leaving the wings dried out. I’m from the Buffalo area and practically grew up on wings, always fried. This sounds like a much neater and easier alternative, healthier too. Here we generally use Frank’s Hot Sauce and butter, perhaps with the addition of some celery salt, in which to toss the wings after frying. Equal parts of hot sauce and butter works great for moderately mild wings, but change the proportions if you like more “heat”.

When I read the recipe and it called for “baking soda” I thought it was an error..it’s not!..I am considered a very good cook and these r the best I ever made and they r baked making them even better..will not share this secret…thanks a bunch…

I definitely could devour a bowlful of these chicken wings right now.. they look incredibly delicious, thanks for the great recipe!

Yum! Those look fantastic!! I have never baked chicken wings before! I might just need to make some of these!

I love the idea to bake the wings. That sauce looks yummy! Pinned.

These are perfect for football season! I love that they are baked- so much easier than frying!!
