Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top for
even heat circulation.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and any optional spices. Toss the chicken wings
in the mixture until evenly coated.
Arrange the coated wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other to allow air
circulation and crisping.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
Optional: Toss the baked wings in your favorite sauce immediately after baking for extra flavor.
Serving and Storage:
Serve hot with dipping sauces such as ranch, blue cheese, or buffalo sauce. Pair with celery and carrot sticks
for a classic presentation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain
crispiness.
Tips:
Use a wire rack to prevent the wings from sitting in their juices, which keeps them crispy.
Pat wings dry before coating to ensure the flour and cornstarch stick properly.
Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even cooking and crisping.
Flip wings halfway through baking for uniform color and crunch.
Conclusion:
Oven Fried Chicken Wings deliver all the flavor and crunch of fried wings with less oil and fuss. Following the
Crispy Oven Method ensures golden, juicy, and irresistible wings every time.
