I make chicken wings in the air fryer most often because they are the fastest, but I’ve been making this oven baked chicken wings recipe since long before I owned any extra appliances. (In fact, the secret ingredient in these baked wings is the same one I use no matter how I cook them.) This method is still my fave when I want a larger batch. With the right seasoning and a few of my little tricks, this simple appetizer has all the right flavor and texture. Crispy chicken wings, here we come!
Why You’ll Love My Oven Baked Chicken Wings Recipe
- Super duper crispy skin – Deep frying is not the only way to make skin-on chicken crisp! You can get the same results with baking — my popular recipes for baked chicken legs , chicken leg quarters , and chicken thighs are proof! In addition to a blast of heat from the oven, though, for wings I add another special ingredient to give the skin extra crunch. The inside is nice and juicy, but it’s the crispy skin that will have you reaching for seconds!
- Smoky, savory flavor – I used a combination of savory spices, but there are multiple ways to season these chicken wings. See my seasoning ideas below!
- Just 6 simple ingredients – All you need is chicken, oil, spices, and my secret ingredient that you definitely have already. I’ve made this baked chicken wings recipe as simple as possible without compromising on taste.
- Quick prep, easy cleanup – Spend less time cooking and more time enjoying your meal with just 10 minutes of prep. I also love that I can enjoy these tasty wings without a messy kitchen.
- Versatile app or main course – Make them for game day . Make them for holidays. Make them for a party. Make them for any day. These crispy oven baked chicken wings are always a hit with everyone when I make them.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for my crispy baked chicken wings recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .
- Chicken Wings – I usually buy separated wingettes (a.k.a. flats) and drumettes, but you could just separate whole wings at the joint yourself. You can also use only flats or only drummettes alone. Frozen chicken wings work as well, but you’d need to either thaw them first or bake for longer and season halfway through cooking (learn the technique in my recipe for air fryer frozen chicken wings ).
- Olive Oil – Or avocado oil also works great.
- Baking Powder – My secret ingredient for easy baked crispy chicken wings! ? Baking powder makes skin extra crisp by absorbing extra moisture and changing the pH level on the surface. Do not use baking soda alone, which will leave an aftertaste.
- Seasonings – The only must-haves are sea salt and black pepper, but my blend of seasonings creates the perfect smoky, savory flavor. They are also common ones you probably have: smoked paprika , garlic powder , and onion powder . Sometimes I add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick. See below for my other seasoning variations!
How To Bake Chicken Wings
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .
- Combine the seasonings. In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.
- Dry the chicken. Pat both sides of the wings dry with paper towels.
- Season the wings. Place them in a large bowl with the olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle the seasoning over the top and toss again, until evenly coated in the spice mixture. Place the chicken wings on wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. (I’m obsessed with this baking sheet and rack combo for all my crispy foods!)
- Bake until crispy. Cook chicken wings in the oven, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
My Recipe Tips
- Dry the wings very well. I always dry my proteins before cooking, as this locks in moisture, but it’s particularly impotant for crispy baked chicken wings. Moisture is the enemy of that crispy skin! Don’t skimp on the paper towels. 😉
- A wire rack is a game changer. You can bake chicken wings directly on a baking sheet, but nothing beats the results I get with this set . It allows the hot air to circulate around the wings, making them crispier — and they cook faster, too.
- Line the pan with foil for easier cleanup. This won’t affect your results if you skip it, but placing foil on the baking sheet underneath the rack does make cleanup a breeze!
- Start “pretty side” down and turn halfway through. Even with the rack, I find that flipping gets you more even browning and crispness. I always start with the nicer side down and then flip up halfway through, because the side facing up at the end usually looks better.
- A meat thermometer isn’t required, but it’s a plus. The internal temperature of the chicken needs to reach 165 degrees F. But, the inside almost always cooks through by the time the skin is crisp, so measuring is not as crucial as it is with some of my other chicken recipes . If you do, make sure to measure in the thickest part of the wings, and not touching the bone.
- Let the wings rest if you can. I do this with all my proteins. While it’s less important with baked wings, letting them sit for a few minutes after baking allow juices to settle (read: a juicier inside!) and also helps the skin crisp up more.
How Long To Bake Chicken Wings?
I bake chicken wings for 35-40 minutes at 425 degrees F. The blast of high heat crisps up the skin beautifully.
Seasoning Variations
Feel free to swap the spices to make this oven baked chicken wings recipe your own! For the salt, my rule of thumb is 2/3 to 3/4 teaspoon of salt per pound of wings, so keep this in mind depending on whether your seasoning contains salt or not.
- Lemon Pepper – Replace the seasonings with 1/4 cup of my lemon pepper seasoning . I have full instructions in my baked lemon pepper wings recipe.
- Buffalo – Cook wings according to my instructions here, then toss with 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce (or choose your favorite hot sauce). See my recipe for baked buffalo wings for more details.
- Savory – Use 2 tablespoons of my poultry seasoning for a comfort food vibe. It doesn’t contain salt, so you’ll need to add it separately.
- Cajun – My husband loves the spicy kick in this version! Toss the wings in 2 tablespoons of my Cajun seasoning blend instead of the seasonings above. The salt is already included.
- Garlic Parmesan – While you’re baking chicken wings in the oven, saute 3-4 cloves of garlic in 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. When the wings are done, toss them in the melted butter sauce, and top with shredded or grated parmesan cheese. This is like the oven baked version of my Crock Pot chicken wings .
- BBQ – After baking, slather the chicken in your favorite BBQ sauce (mine is my homemade sugar-free barbecue sauce ), then bake for a few more minutes.
Storage Instructions
- Store: Baked chicken wings store pretty well! Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The skin does get soft, but it’s easy to crisp them up again.
- Reheat: I recommend letting the wings come to room temperature first, as they crisp up better than heating them cold from the fridge. After that, you can crisp them up in the oven at 350 degrees F, but I actually prefer my air fryer to reheat. The leftovers are not usually a full batch, so they can all fit in one go — and it’s faster, too.
- Freeze: You can keep raw chicken in the freezer for 6-9 months, but oven baked wings taste best if frozen for no longer than 3-4 months. I spread them out on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip lock bag for longer storage. (This method prevents them from sticking together.)
Serving Suggestions
There are so many ways I serve these oven baked chicken wings! People often think of them as an appetizer, but I have totally made them as my main dish for dinner, too. Here is how to serve them both ways:
- Dips – For a classic app experience, don’t forget the celery sticks, carrots, and ranch or blue cheese dressing . I won’t have wings without them!
- Other Apps – When I have a crowd, I like to make a spread of appetizers, like my jalapeno poppers or stuffed banana peppers , creamy spinach artichoke dip , and spicy buffalo cauliflower bites as an alternative for my vegetarian friends.
- Potatoes – Garlic parmesan fries are probably the most classic option, but if you’re serving these for dinner, just make my Instant Pot baked potatoes or air fryer sweet potatoes while you have the baked chicken wings in the oven. You could also roast potatoes at the same time as the wings, and just rotate the pans halfway through.
- Vegetables – I have veggies with every meal, even if I’m having party foods like baked wings. Tender sauteed zucchini is definitely my go-to, but my roasted eggplant or savory sauteed cabbage also pair well here. Or try my roasted rutabaga for a potato-like veggie option!

The Basic Keto Meal Formula
Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.
Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.
Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.
| Pick A Protein | Pick A Veggie | Add Fat |
|---|---|---|
| Beef Chicken Pork Eggs Lamb Turkey Fish Shellfish Protein powder Venison | Cauliflower Broccoli Zucchini Leafy Greens Cucumbers Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Asparagus Radishes Bell Peppers Jicama Celery | Butter Avocado Oil Cheese Bacon Avocado Lard Ghee Mayo Nuts MCT Oil |
Understanding Macros
Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.
Carbs Are A Limit.
Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.
A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.
“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.
A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.
Protein Is A Goal.
Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].
“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.
Fat Is A Lever.
Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.
A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).
Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.
Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.
“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.
Keto Food Swaps
One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

Keto Food List
When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.
The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!
Foods To Eat On Keto
- Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
- Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
- Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
- Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
- Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
- Avocados
- Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
- Almond flour and coconut flour
- Eggs
- Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.
Foods To Avoid On Keto

Electrolyte Basics
Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.
For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .
The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.
Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:
| Sodium | Magnesium | Potassium |
|---|---|---|
| Bone broth Boullion cubes Bacon Salted nuts Pickles | Seaweed Seeds Nuts Avocado Leafy greens | Potassium chloride Avocado Bone broth Spinach Broccoli Mushrooms Beef Pork |
Keto Diet Types
People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.
Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.
Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!
- Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
- Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
- Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
- Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
