These are mouth-watering super crispy oven baked chicken wings. I figured out the secret to crispy wings. I make sure that the wings are completely dry before I prepare them. Then I make a rub which I toss on the wings. I place my wings on a cooling rack on top of a lined sheet pan before putting into the oven. This is a great method to ensure crispy wings every time, especially if you don’t have an air fryer. I mix up my rub each time I make wings depending on the dipping sauce. The dipping sauce in the photo is a store-bought onion ranch dip, but I recently made a different rub than the recipe below using just salt, garlic powder and lemon pepper that worked well with an Asian dip/marinade I had left over in my fridge. You can mix and match, but ultimately this method below is foolproof. I also recommend melting 1/2 cup of butter with 1/2 cup of Frank’s Hot Sauce and tossing the wings in that for Buffalo wings.

    Could you use legs or thighs? Would cook time be the same?

    How long do you cook the wings after you flip them?

      Recipe says cooking time is 40-50 minutes, so flip at 20-25 minutes and cook for additional 20-25 minutes.
