Here’s a simple and tasty Homemade Oven-Baked Hot Wings recipe 🍗🔥—crispy, spicy, and made without deep frying:
🥘 Ingredients (4 servings):
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- ½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot or your favorite)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep the Wings
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F)
- Pat wings dry with paper towels (this helps them crisp)
- Toss wings with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika
2. Bake
- Arrange wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a wire rack
- Bake 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy
3. Make Hot Sauce Coating
- In a small bowl, mix hot sauce and melted butter
- Toss baked wings in the sauce until evenly coated
4. Serve
- Serve hot with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing
💡 Tips:
- For extra crispiness, broil wings 2–3 minutes at the end of baking
- Adjust hot sauce amount to your heat preference
- You can marinate wings in hot sauce for 30 minutes before baking for more flavor
If you want, I can give you a super quick 25-minute version using a broiler that makes wings extra crispy without deep frying.
