Get ready to impress everyone with these incredibly crispy Oven-Fried Chicken Wings that taste just like the deep-fried kind, but without all the fuss! This recipe is a keeper, trust me!**Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken Wings**
**Yields:** 4-6 servings
**Prep time:** 15 minutes
**Cook time:** 40-50 minutes
**Ingredients:**
-
2 lbs chicken wings, patted completely dry
-
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
-
* 1/2 cup cornstarch (this is the secret to extra crispiness!)
-
* 2 teaspoons salt
-
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
-
* 1 teaspoon paprika
-
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
* 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)
-
* Butter or cooking spray for greasing the baking sheet
**Instructions:**
-
**Preheat your oven:** Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, then lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
-
2. **Prepare the dry coating:** In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Make sure everything is well combined.
-
3. **Coat the wings:** Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl with the flour mixture. Toss them until each wing is thoroughly coated. You can do this in batches if your bowl isn’t big enough to ensure even coating.
-
4. **Arrange on baking sheet:** Place the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t touching each other – this allows air to circulate and results in crispier wings.
-
5. **Bake to perfection:** Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through (around the 20-25 minute mark). The wings are done when they are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
-
6. **Serve and enjoy:** Once out of the oven, let the wings rest for a couple of minutes. Toss them in your favorite wing sauce, or serve them as is with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. Get ready for the compliments!
