Best Ever Crispy Baked Chicken Wings – How to Perfectly Bake Crispy Wings in the Oven

FAQ

Should I bake wings at 350 or 400?

Is It Better to Bake Chicken Wings at 350 or 400? You can bake chicken wings at both 350°F and 400°F. Baking at a higher temperature (400°F) will result in crispy skin in a shorter amount of time. A 350° F oven will still result in crispy skin, it will just take longer to crisp and cook all the way through.

Should you cover chicken wings when baking?

Should you cover chicken wings when baking them? Chicken wings should not be covered in the oven. Covering the wings will steam them and they won’t get brown and crispy.

How long to cook chicken wings in the oven at 350?

Spray the rack with cooking spray and set the wings skin side up on the rack, leaving a little space between each wing. Bake the wings at 350℉ for 35 to 40 minutes. The wings are done when they’re cooked all the way through and have an internal temp of 165ºF. Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving.
