Baked Ranch Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe begins by preheating the oven to 425°F and preparing a seasoning blend from ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and baking powder. The wings are coated with olive oil then tossed thoroughly in the seasoning to ensure even coverage. After baking on a wire rack for 20 minutes, the wings are flipped and baked another 15 minutes. A final step involves flipping again, brushing melted butter over the wings, and sprinkling the reserved ranch seasoning before baking an additional 5 to 7 minutes to enhance crispness and flavor.
The baking powder in the seasoning helps draw moisture from the skin, creating a crispy texture without frying. This method produces wings with a golden, crisp exterior and flavorful ranch seasoning this recipe recommends serving with ranch dressing for dipping.
If using store-bought ranch seasoning, using only two tablespoons is advised as it can be stronger than homemade seasoning mixes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings cut into drumettes and flats
- 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning separated (see notes, homemade
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of the ranch seasoning to a small mixing bowl and reserve the other tablespoon for later. Add in the garlic powder and baking powder, then whisk to combine.
- Add the chicken wings to a large mixing bowl and drizzle the olive oil over the top.
- Toss to combine, then pour the seasoning mixture over the top. Toss again, making sure all the pieces are coated in the seasoning.
- Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack and aluminum foil (for easy cleanup). Bake for 20 minutes. Flip them over bake another 15 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the oven. Flip them back over, brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining ranch seasoning. Bake for another 5-7 minutes or until crispy and golden. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Using 2 tablespoons of store-bought ranch seasoning is recommended if not using a homemade blend, as it tends to be more concentrated in flavor.
