Who doesn’t love a good chicken wing? These Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Wings have a golden, crunchy exterior, and a tender interior, and are coated in a tangy BBQ sauce that will make your taste buds dance. The secret to their perfect texture is the combination of two different baking temperatures. First, they’re baked at a low temperature to render out the fat and then baked at a higher temperature to crisp up the skin. No deep frying is necessary!
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients, you can have restaurant-quality chicken wings in the comfort of your own home. And what’s even better? You can customize them to your heart’s content. Switch up the sauce, add some spices, and make them your own! Enjoy them on game day, at a family BBQ, or any time you fancy a delicious, finger-licking snack. They’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
