Oven-Baked Wings

Wings! An easy way to add protein to your gameday spread. Whether you prefer them sweet or spicy, these simple tips will help you get crispy, flavorful wings right out of the oven.

How to Get Crispy Wings (The Key Steps)

• Pat wings completely dry before seasoning. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

• Season with dry spices, then let the wings rest uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours.

• Give them space. Arrange wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet so they’re not crowded or touching.

• Flip halfway through baking for even browning.

• For best texture and appearance, start wings top down, then finish upright. This helps keep the meat juicy.

• Cleanup tip: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
