4 servings

These baked chicken wings are easy to make; they are crispy and delicious. Simply bake them in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken wings (split, tips removed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and fit them with wire racks.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the wings with melted butter. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire racks, not touching each other.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  4. 4

    Bake the wings until cooked through and their skin is browned and crispy, about 40 minutes.

  5. 5

    For extra-crispy skin, lower the oven temperature to 170℉ and keep the wings in the oven for 30-60 more minutes. Serve immediately.
