Baked Chicken Wings
This Baked Chicken Wings recipe uses a savory-sweet dry rub with brown sugar, garlic, spices, and optional red pepper flakes, coating chicken wings tossed in olive oil. Baking on a wire rack at 400°F crisps the skin evenly. The wings deliver a balanced flavor with a gently spiced, slightly sweet crust and tender meat inside, ideal for serving with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
