Baked Chicken Wings
Baked Chicken Wings are coated in vegetable oil and a barbecue spice rub, then baked until crispy and golden brown. The use of a rack allows heat circulation for even cooking and crisp skin without frying. The wings come out with a smoky, savory flavor profile enhanced by the spice blend. An optional sprinkle of parsley adds fresh color before serving, making this a practical method to prepare flavorful wings at home.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings party style, or separate the wingettes and drumettes yourself
- 1/3 cup bbq spice rub homemade or store bought
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon parsley optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and place an oven safe rack on top of the foil. Coat the rack with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl along with the oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- Add the spice rub to the bowl. Toss the wings with the spice rub until they're coated.
- Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the rack.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Top with parsley, then serve.
Notes
- Try making your own barbecue spice rub to customize flavors; it can be used in many other recipes as well.
- Using pre-separated "party style" wings saves preparation time and ensures even cooking.
- Monitor the wings closely during baking to avoid burning, as oven temperatures may vary.
