Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
Garlic, chili powder, olive oil, and simple seasonings coat these oven-baked chicken wings before they bake until crisp for an easy game-day appetizer.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 10 chicken wings
Instructions
Prepare the oven and seasoning:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, pressed garlic, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
Coat the wings:
- Add the chicken wings and toss thoroughly until every piece is coated with the garlic-and-chili oil mixture.
Arrange the baking sheet:
- Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between pieces and avoiding overlaps.
Bake until crisp:
- Bake for about 30 minutes, continuing up to 45 minutes for larger wings if needed, until the skin is crisp and browned and the chicken reaches at least 165°F in the meatiest portion without touching bone.
Serve hot:
- Transfer the wings to a platter and serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauces and crisp vegetables if desired.
CHEF’S TIP
Keep the wings in a single uncrowded layer so the surfaces can brown more evenly.
Wing size varies, so use a food thermometer rather than relying only on baking time.
For larger game-day batches, use additional baking sheets instead of overcrowding one pan.
