Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F. Place wings, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss together until evenly coated.
  2. 2Spread wings out in a single layer on a baking sheet. For extra crispiness, place wings on wire racks set over the baking sheet so air circulates underneath.
  3. 3Bake for 45–50 minutes until cooked through and the skin is crispy, turning the wings halfway through.
  4. 4Remove from oven and immediately toss with your favorite sauce — Buffalo, BBQ, or eat them plain.
  5. 5Serve with ranch or blue cheese for dipping. Best eaten hot.
💡 Improv Tip

The wire rack trick is the key to truly crispy wings without a deep fryer. Don't skip it — the air circulation underneath makes all the difference. If you don't have a rack, flip them twice instead of once.
