The crispiest chicken wings baked in the oven. The skin is deliciously crisp and salty, with tender meat on the inside. No deep frying required!
Smother in sauce (yes, they still stay crisp even with the sauce on) to make bbq wings, buffalo wings or sticky Asian-inspired wings. Or eat as they are – they’re totally moreish without any sauce!

Crispy Chicken Wings Ingredients:
2.2 lbs (1 kg) chicken wings
2 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder (It has to be baking powder NOT baking soda – see further notes on baking powder below
½ tsp salt make sure it’s regular table salt
½ tsp pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 120C/250F and place a rack on a large baking tray.
2. Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette.
3. Dry the wings with paper towels, then place in a large bowl and add the baking powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Note – it’s important to dry the wings first so they only get a light coating.
4. Place in a single layer on the rack, skin side up. It’s fine for them to be touching. Discard any remaining coating once tossed together.
5. Place on the lower shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, turn the oven up to 220C/425F and rotate the tray for even cooking. Cook for a further 45-50 minutes until the wings are lightly golden and crispy.
7. Take out of the oven to cool slightly before serving.

You never said temp in beginning !!
Um… A kilo is a little LESS than 2 1/4 pounds. Not to be an A hole about things. Sometimes cooking needs precision. Not in this case, but it can add up.
Cooking with this low temperature at start was not a good idea. I've had better results starting with hot temperature like for 425. I tried this today in my wings didn't turn out brown at all. Instead they look Gray. I'm doing an extra 30 minutes
Thanks for the tip on using aluminum free baking powder. I didn’t have that the first time I made these and found that the taste of aluminum was definitely present. The aluminum free baking powder made all the difference. These are real.y good!
Alright, great tip with the baking powder, but 220 degree Celsius for 45 mins in the oven DEFINITELY overcooks the chicken!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. My husband and I look forward to trying it out!!!
PSA: Baking powder without aluminum is essentially 100% cornstarch.
I tried it and the kids loved it they only left me 2pcs 😂❤ thank u
7/16/23: I need something more in seasonings than just salt and pepper. I would put some garlic and onion powders, a bit of cayenne and some paprika. Thanks for the tip on the baking powder for the crispiness. I'm gonna give it a try.
I used 2tb of corn starch and they are crispy like fried them
What is it in the first 30 minutes?
My wings will not turn brown.. They have been at 425 degrees now for 45 mins and are not turning brown?? Help??
What difference does it make if i just cook them in the middle rack instead of moving them?
I’ve made these twice now, and they really are the closest in taste and consistency to deep fried wings that I’ve ever had. Now we just need a tasty butter substitute to mix with Frank’s Red Hot sauce to make the wings even healthier.
If it's an overweight white girl with a voice like that, the seasoning is always going to be salt and pepper.
Thank you! God bless you!
She didn’t wash them or season them properly. No thanks
Everything I've cooked in this unit has come out great https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB ! Everything tastes so good. Some of the recipes I've changed a little to improve the taste. For instance, for french fries which call for no oil, I spray them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. They come out great! It makes the best toast I have ever eaten. The recipe I use calls for lightly buttering both sides of the bread. It calls for cooking at 400 degrees for 5 minutes on one side and then 2 minutes on the other side. This time has a lot to do with the kind of bread you are using…so keep an eye on it. Also, the fans in this Ninja are a lot stronger than other air fryers. So lay a metal spoon or something on the bread to keep it from flying around. It's a little extra work to use your Ninja as a toaster but it is worth it!
Salt and pepper wings. Yum 😋
No seasoning huh??
Too hot for too long
What temperature at the lower shelf for 30 minutes did you set at???
You didn’t mention at what temperature should the oven be for that original 30 minute bake?
Looks yummy, but you never said what oven temp to start at
My oven has top and bottom heating element. Should I use both or..? 🙏🏻
Short and sweet! Thank u!
30 minutes and then another 45-50 minutes? These wings will be the driest most burnt things ever! It takes about half an hour to cook wings in the oven not 1.5 hours 😂😂😂😂
🔥
Just made these. I didnt have baking powder, but corn starch can be used as a sub. The texture came out perfect this method. My only thing is, for most people, you may want to add a little more seasoning. I used her measurements and it came out bland af. And i even added a little more than she said. But its crispy and juicy
Very helpful
Soooooo good. Thanks
Woman, you completely changed the way I make chicken. Watched this video a while ago, being using this technique ever since. It just works so much.
Come on people…surely most of us have oven baked chicken wings.
I see her method as only a guide. Oven temperatures may very so lets use our own judgment as a guide to see works best.
What temp did you start with when wings on lower rack. You didn't say.
Jump to 1:08 if you already know how to cut and dry wings. (you're welcome!)
Salt and pepper only for seasoning??? You completely missed the best opportunity to add the most flavor to the wings. There are many rubs you could/should be adding to the wings before they go into the oven.
nice, tho you need to use more seasoning than that tbh
