Crispy Ancho Baked Chicken Wings are tossed in the most tantalizing spice rub, baked until juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside then dunked in creamy Avocado Ranch! These Oven Baked Chicken Wings can be completely prepped ahead of time then baked when you're ready without the hassle, mess and heart attack of fried wings - can I get a hallelujah?!

Instructions
Ancho Baked Chicken Wings
- Rinse your chicken then squeeze and pat very dry with paper towels.
- Line baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Top baking sheet with baking rack/oven proof cooling rack and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- OPTIONAL: For extra crispy wings, add chicken in a single layer on baking rack and let them sit in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours to dry out. If you do this, then be sure to spray your rack again with cooking spray when you remove the wings to add them to the rub.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix together Rub Ingredients. Add half of the Rub to a large freezer bag. Add half of the wings and shake until coated evenly. Line wings on prepared baking rack so they are not touching. Add remaining Rub ingredients and wings to freezer bag and repeat.
- Bake on upper middle rack for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Move oven rack approximately 6-8" from broiler and broil to desired crispiness, watching closely so they don't burn. Optional: Flip chicken wings over and broil the other side until crispy.
Avocado Ranch Dip
- Meanwhile, add all of the Avocado Ranch ingredients to a blender and "chop" then puree until smooth, scraping sides down as needed. Add additional milk, a tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency. Chill before serving.
Notes
- *If you don't like as much heat then reduce Ancho Chile to 1 teaspoon.
