Chicken Wings are a game day staple! This baked wings recipe has the most amazing seasoning consisting of paprika, garlic, salt and pepper. Simple but delicious. This Chicken Wings Recipe is a healthier and more flavorful way to cook your favorite appetizer recipe.
The Best Chicken Wings Recipe
This recipe for dry rubbed baked wings is so easy and delicious!
I’ve been experimenting with easy chicken recipes lately, and I think I’ve found a new favorite recipe to add to the list. I love that this recipe is healthier than traditional fried wings because it’s baked in the oven instead of fried. We already know we love Oven Fried Chicken, so I thought it would be perfect. This will make any wing-loving husband (or wife!) pretty darn happy on Valentine’s Day. You’re welcome, Pat!
And of course, these oven baked chicken wings are the perfect appetizer for game day, Super Bowl Sunday, or any occasion. They make great party food!
When someone says wings, your mind probably immediately goes to the fried kind you order at restaurants. Don’t get me wrong, those are AMAZING. I’ll eat them any day and be perfectly happy. But what I love about this recipe is that they are baked instead of fried.
Baking chicken wings in the oven instead of deep-frying means they are that much healthier, and they’re so much easier to make too. Less mess and cleanup! Win win.
Cover these babies in the most deliciously simple seasoning, bake, and serve!
Dry Rub Seasoning and Dipping Sauces
This Oven Baked Chicken Wings Recipe is a great base that goes with any type of dipping sauce.
I usually serve these with Buffalo Sauce, Ranch, Blue Cheese, and Honey Mustard. I’m the kind of person that likes to have alllll the dipping sauces available when it’s time to eat.
Even though I love to dip these, you don’t need to. The simple seasoning blend we have used has SO much flavor, and it is so easy. I love the simplicity of the chicken spice rub. The wings get a coating of just flour, paprika, garlic, and salt and pepper. That’s really all they need. They come out of the oven crispy (YES, it’s POSSIBLE!), delicious, and with just the right amount of spice. See the recipe card for all the tips and tricks.
The flavor goes well with literally any type of dipping sauce. We love them with buffalo sauce, but they would be great with honey mustard, garlic parmesan, or anything else you are partial to!
How to Bake Chicken Wings in the Oven – Step by Step
You don’t need to deep fry anything to make wings! That’s what I love about this recipe. Baking chicken wings in the oven is so much easier than frying them, and they are healthier too. This easy wings recipe is a lifesaver!
- Line a baking sheet with foil and dot it with butter.
- Combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, and salt & pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Fully coat each wing with the seasoning mix and place it on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 425°F. Then turn the wings over and bake another 15 minutes.
That’s all there is to it! And like I said, that wing seasoning is SO good, these wings come out full of flavor. Only a few ingredients to make these. Just serve with your favorite dips.
An appetizer for Any Occasion
Sure, desserts are fun on Valentine’s Day. Everybody loves to show their affection with cookies, red velvet cupcakes, and an explosion of pink. We have you covered for Valentine’s Desserts Recipes, but if you’re favorite person doesn’t have a sweet tooth, you can still show your love through food! If they prefer savory foods, I definitely recommend this easy recipe.
Some people, like Pat, prefer finger foods. It’s just a fact of life. I think they might be on to something. He’s a simple guy, and these Simple Baked Wings are right up his alley.
How long does it take to Bake Chicken Wings in the Oven?
Bake in a 425° F oven for 30 minutes, turn, and then bake another 10-15 minutes. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 190° F. Be sure to check out our Meat Temperature Chart for all you need to know about how to cook chicken, beef, pork, and more.

Hi
I tried to watch the video, but to know avail. I disabled the Ad Blocker and still can;t see the video.
THE.BEST.WINGS.EVER!!! I am no wing expert but I was craving a good wing that wasn’t smothered in sauce. I found this recipe and have to say it was so easy, created the most delicious crisp and flavorful wings that you would have thought were deep fried. Thank you for one of the best recipes I ever made.
I’m glad you love it so much!! Aren’t they great? :)
Best wings EVER in the whole entire world! Love this recipe! I will never buy, eat or cook fried wings again,NEVER!
Thank you for this recipe! You probably contributed to me not having a heart attack from all the fried wings I will not have to eat ever again!!
How awesome!! I’m glad he loved them!
My husband LOVED these wings! I didn’t get to try any myself because I was dieting but when I asked him what he thought of them he told me they were they were the best he’s had!
Thanks Linda! I’m so happy you love this recipe!
I’m so glad you loved it so much!!
First time doing wings at home! Served with buttermilk ranch … a huge hit for Super Bowl! Thank you!
Tast really good, & really easy to make.
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy them!
Super bland flavor. Nothing exciting nor rememberable about the taste. Looks way better than they taste
I’m glad you enjoyed them so much!!
Yes to both! Just keep an eye on them!
I just made these wings for a football game and they were a big hit. I will definitely be making these again. Just delicious!
The wings look very tasty. Could they be made with almond flour and would temp. and time be similar for air fryer?
I’m so sorry! Next time try a little more butter and see if that helps!
All of my wings stuck to the pan when I tried to turn them and the coating came off. ????. I used the foil and dotted with butter, but they stuck. So I lost half the flavor.
I’m glad I could help!! It’s always a plus when the kiddos approve!
Oh my goodness- this recipe Was amazing! Simple yet delicious! My children loved these wings! And guess what- it was about $25 cheaper than going to a wing place! And definitely healthier❤️ Thank you for sharing this simple yet delicious recipe!
Sincerely,
A gal from South Texas
So sorry these were not what you expected, Marsha! Seasonings are always a preference, so feel free to add more or less based on your taste!
Salt was inadequate. It probably should have been a tablespoon, not a teaspoon and I was using sea salt. Followed the recipe to the letter. Wings were not crispy but instead were really oily w/ the added butter. In spite of everything, I liked the seasoning combination, though. Just needs more salt.
Yes! Just make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through!
You’re welcome, Melissa! I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Thank you, Denise! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Followed recipe exactly. Turned out nice and flavorful! Super easy:)
These turned out great! Didn’t even need sauce (although maybe would add a touch more salt if not using sauce). Thanks Becky!
I usually cut them in half and cut off the wingette or not sure what it is called. I just don’t want to overcook them. Thank you.
you can do it either way! hope you enjoy :)
This recipe looks like its just the drummies. Is this the whole chicken wing? We like the whole thing.
Yes, Darla! They might even soak in a little extra flavor for you :)
Yes, Joshua! You absolutely can!
I’m so happy to hear that!
They still tasted good.
I am so sorry to hear that!! Maybe try flipping the wings a little earlier next time, some ovens unfortunately heat differently. I hope you give it another try!
I followed the instructions exactly. The wings were burned on the bottom side at the 30 minute point and the smoke detector went off. I checked the internal temperature of the fastest wing. It was 160 degrees and rising fast. The taste was ok and the meat was moist.
Recipe calls for 30 min. at 425, and turn for another 15 min. at that temperature. Video says 15 min. at 425 and they’re ready. ?? Confusing.
Hi Megan, If you scroll down you will find the recipe card that includes the measurements!
Hi Liz!
Definitely adjust it to your taste so that way you are able to enjoy it!
Hi Kim,
Try this one! https://www.thecookierookie.com/homemade-ranch-dressing-recipe/
These look great but confused the video says bake 15 min the written instructions say 30 mins then another 15?
Thanks, Jane! Let me know how it goes!
Can I use the full wing instead of the pieces?
Very flavorful but mine were almost burned after 45 minutes and probably raw after 15 minutes like you said in your video. I will play around with the timing. I will differently make them again.
Your recipe said 3 tablespoons butter and cook a total of 45 minutes. In your video you used 4 tablespoon butter and said to cook 15 minutes. I am confused. How they aren’t burned after 45 minutes.
My bad! The recipe was too spicy because I mistakenly used cayenne instead of paprika! I’ll try again. They were easy and fast and perfectly done the first time, in spite of my error!
These chicken wings were easy and would have gotten a higher rating except they were way too spicy. Might have been just right with two teaspoons paprika instead of two tablespoons.
My husband and grand children love chicken wings I will definitely be cooking these.
I’m assuming you could replace the flour with corn starch if you are gluten-free?
I need a good recipe for ranch dressing. I don’t like it to be too strong.
Where did you find the platters for the wings? They are so cute.
Can you prepare and marinate the day before and put in oven the next day.
Yay! Thanks, Donna!
Best chicken wings & so easy ! Just add your favorite dipping sauce
Yay! Thanks, Lisa!
Yay! Thanks, Ola!
My husband love them!
Delicious! Crispy without frying and bursting with flavor! I made Ranch Dressing to go with it…YUM!!
Sorry it didn’t work out for you!
Didn’t have really any flavor at all
what are the ratios of each ingredient added for the flour mix? maybe I’m totally missing it, but I can’t find any measurements!
Love these! My husband didn’t even know they were baked!
Thanks, Crystal! Glad you enjoyed :)
This recipe came out really well. It was well seasoned, easy to prepare and looked tasty when I took it out of the oven. This is definitely part of my recipe box now!
Thanks, Julie!
I doubled the flour mixture because I did 24 wings. There was plenty. I ate mine without sauce and I enjoyed them even more! I would suggest shaking off the coating really well to keep them really crispy. Super easy recipe and will be a go to for football games.
Yay!
OMg absolutely implement family and I loved it ( none left)
Thank you!
If you go down to the recipe card there will be an option to print it! Please do so!
Wow thank you so much for such wonderful recipes you provided <3 Would you mind if I take it and print? I will use it to cook for my family, and show it to my neighborhood as well as my close friend?
This was amazing! Me and my husband loved this Wing recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing. So delicious!
I will baking these wings this weekend. Sounds like they will be very tasty.
have you ever thought of adding 1/2 flour & 1/2 panko?
A lot of people have made this recipe. There are over 80 comments, a lot of them actually tasting the recipe. Definitely all tastes are different so I understand if they aren’t right for you. Thanks for your comment.
I made these tonight and I was a little disappointed. They did not have much flavor. I didn’t want to use a dip but I did have some ranch dressing. If I make these again, I will make changes to the recipe. Good base but needs more. FYI…the people who rated this didn’t make it. They based their rating on appearance.
YAY!
Made these tonight for the first time and I have to say, it’s my favorite wing recipe, hands down! So glad to have found this!
Thanks, Annie!
I just tried these and they got ???? from hubby and kids. An Excellent alternative to fried chicken. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Kathy! You cannot go wrong with chicken wings!!
I made these wings because I’m trying to eat healthier. They were delicious and so easy to make. I am saving this recipe.
Loved it and was easy enough to brag.????
Wings stick to foul. Recommend use non-stick pan, no butter and then broil for crispness after.
How long do you bake them for? I the video you said 15 minutes but the recipe says 30 minutes then flip and bake for another 15 minutes?

I followed the directions. They were Excellent!!!
Glad you liked them Ivette!
These came out absolutely delicious!
I’m so glad you loved it!
Thank you for such an easy delicious recipe!
What about Baking Soda in the recipe? I keep seeing it in Baked Chicken Wings recipes, for extra crispiness?
Such an easy and delicious recipe!
No that’s for about 4 :)
That’s high praise. Thank you Cindy!
By far the best wings recipe, and I have tried many!!
Wings are hands down one of the best foods!
Yessssss! We love wings!
Made these last night. They were DELICIOUS!!! Just one question. It shows 393 calories. Is that for 1 chicken wing? How can anyone just eat one???? They are so good.
So glad to hear that Sheila! The chicken wing seasoning really is so tasty, isn’t it?
I have several wing recipes I like, so wasn’t sure if I should try this or not. Oh my goodness!!!! It’s become my favorite. So easy & very tasty! Four of us ate them this evening and nobody needed sauces.
Hi! Lots of people have made them. Several comments just from the Super Bowl with people making them this week. I hope you love them if you make them!
So happy to hear that!
Awesome!!!
Second time tonight! I love these wings! Thank you!
Made these wings, and my family loved them.
Thank you.
Has anybody actually made them?
Oh good!
Delicious!!! I’ll for sure make them again! Thanks!
love that!!!
Fantastic all the family loved them and so easy to make mmmmm
Awesome! I hope you love it. AND GO CHIEFS!! Cheering hard from STL :)
I was looking for a wing recipe to make prior to Dec 23, 2018 Sunday Night game of KC v SEA. The fact you are a Chiefs fan sold me on trying this. Thanks. And go Chiefs!
SAME
YES! The more apps the better
Thanks Rachael!
Totally agree with you!
Thanks Jocelyn!! I’m so glad you guys liked it!
The seasonings on these wings are so good! I love how much easier it is to bake wings!
I’m sold! I totally need to try these. I’m more of a drummie person that a wing person, but I’m sure I could prepare them the same way. Thanks for the recipe!
These are beyond good! Loaded with flavor and so tasty!
These look delicious! I always serve appetizers on Christmas Eve! I’ll be adding these to the list!
Chicken wings are the way to my hubby’s heart, too. He said these are amazing!
Awesome!! So glad you loved them!!
Best chicken wing recipe. Made it exactly as written. Very tender and crispy with great flavor. Next time I think I will spray foil with non stick oil. Maybe I didn’t have butter placed right but I will definitely be making them again
These look fab! Am about to make them! My Ex and I used to make wings every valentines day and eat them in bed with beer :P
Yay!!!!!!
I made these and your ‘baked sticky sesame wings’ And they were both amazing! I skipped the sesame seeds, but the marinade was fantastic w/o them. Everyone loved them, and the Eagles won, so thEy Must be on the menu every superbowl for good luck now too!! Thx also for answering my baking question so qUickly.
You can flour them, keep them in the fridge, and then proceed when ready. They do reheat okay but I think they’re best right after they’re done. I’m cheering for the Eagles too!! xoxo
Hi Becky, i am making your baked wings for the big game today (go eagles!!) my question is, can i make them ahead of time and bake later today, or do they need to be baked as soon as they are floured? And do they re-heat well?
Thanks so much!
~Kelli
Can you tell me if these receipt can be used in my Air Fryer
Just love to hear that!
These are amazing. So easy, so delicious. Have made them several times now.
Hi! I haven’t made it that way but if I ever do I will update the recipe. Thanks for stopping by!
Could you convert this into a chicken leg recipe please
this is a great recipe
YAY! So glad you loved them!
Made these for Greycup tomorrow! Of course I had to try one or two, Delish! Thanks for posting!!
You can use a lil cayenne pepper– Thats what I did.
I don’t have paprika…anything else that’s I can use that’s just as good
Thanks so much Jean!
Me too!!
Thank you so much Ashlyn!

Dip these into some ranch and yum oh so good!
