Crispy Chicken Wings in the Oven
Don't let this healthier way of making delicious Crispy Chicken Wings in the oven fool you. They are so easy to prepare without the hassle of deep-frying, and you won't believe the crunch. It's wings time!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- ½ cup flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp Creole Seasoning I prefer Tony Chachere's or Slap Ya Mama
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat over to 425 degrees.
- Make sure that the chicken wings are completely thawed. Rinse chicken wings and pat dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, Creole seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, garlic salt, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings and coat with the mixture. Shake off any excess mixture - that's also an important step.
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Place a wire baking rack on top of the foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken wings on the rack, about 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, flip the wings over, and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
- If you're going to add a sauce to cover the wings, let them sit for at least 5 minutes after cooking before you toss them in your favorite sauce. We usually serve them 'naked' and allow the kids to dip their chicken wings in a dipping sauce.
