Super Crispy Baked Wings
These are baked? But so crispy!
My wife likes her wings super crispy, but we don't deep fry. So I am always trying new ways to bake them and get them tasty and crispy, without drying them out. Parboiling seems to be an easy way to accomplish this. The removal of the fat during the boil seems to allow them to crisp up better. Plus you can sauce them how you like, or eat them plain. So many options. It also seems better to get your wings as close to the same size as possible. Small ones take less baking time than larger ones. Too great a variation in size can lead to over or undercooked wings.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Set a large pot about 2/3 full of water on high heat to a boil. Salt the water like you would for pasta, if you desire.
- 2
Clean/prep your chicken wings. You can leave them whole, tip them or separate them, your choice.
- 3
Spray your baking sheet with spray oil, or oil it up however you normally would.
- 4
Once the water starts to boil (rolling boil) place as many wings in that will comfortably fit and covered by the water.
- 5
Bring water back to boil, boil for 8-10 minutes
- 6
Remove and place on baking sheet without overlapping.
- 7
Repeat boiling steps if required to finish up all the wings.
- 8
If you have the time, place in refrigerator for an hour or two to allow to dry, or if time is lacking, let sit until relatively dry if possible.
- 9
Depending on how long you can allow parboiled wings to dry, preheat oven to 450°F
- 10
Salt and pepper your wings, place on middle rack in oven
- 11
Cook for about 25-30 minutes, remove and flip all of them over. Do not skip this step. The skin side in contact with the baking sheet gets the crispy, so this is important
- 12
Bake for another 5-10 minutes
- 13
Remove and sauce them up, or serve as is if you like them plain

Crispy baked wings Crispy baked wings
I've been hungry for crispy wings lately but the fried version is such a mess and really not all that healthy... So I did some research and found a recipe that claims adding baking powder to the flour adds taste and crispness so I figured I'd give it a shot. I personally like adding a lot of spices to my chicken and then covering it and letting it sit in the fridge overnight it really gives it a much better flavor! so you can add more or less of all the spices. FYI for fried wings I salt them in the same way so if you want good fried ones just dip them in egg wash and then flour and fry away.

Spicy Crispy Oven Wings Spicy Crispy Oven Wings
I usually chop up the wings, deep fry & toss with wet sauces. This is a diff version. Season, bake & serve. By preheating the tray & spraying with non stick spray, the wings will start to sizzle as soon as you place them on the tray & come out crispy. The Hungarian paprika & cayenne pepper will give the hot spice.

Crispy Oven Fried Chicken Wings Crispy Oven Fried Chicken Wings
I love me some chicken wings, but deep frying them can be a bit of a nuisance. I always preferred to use peanut oil so it can also be costly which is why I was very excited when I came across this method for oven frying. Less mess and less cost.
