👩🍳 How To Bake Crispy Garlic Butter Wings In The Oven
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, and all the spices until well combined.
Step 3: Add the chicken wings to the marinade and mix well, ensuring each wing is thoroughly coated in the garlic butter mixture. You can let the wings marinate for up to 24 hours in the fridge, or go ahead and bake them right away.
Step 4: Arrange the marinated chicken wings on a prepared baking tray in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes.
Step 5: Turn them over and bake for another 10 minutes at 220°C (425°F). Switch to the broiler for the last 3–4 minutes to give the chicken an extra crispy skin.
☀️ Top Tips
- Always preheat your oven before placing the chicken in to bake.
- For extra crispy chicken wings, pat the wings dry before marinating to remove excess moisture and don’t overcrowd the tray.
- When fully cooked, the chicken meat will easily separate from the bones. Alternatively, use a meat thermometer to check. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Recipe FAQs
There are a few factors that can affect the crispiness of your oven-baked chicken wings. To ensure they come out crispy, make sure to:
1. Pat the wings dry with paper towels before marinating to remove excess moisture.
2. Arrange the wings in a single layer with enough space between them for proper air circulation. You can use multiple trays if needed.
3. Preheat your oven to the correct temperature (200°C/400°F). A properly heated oven helps the wings crisp up nicely.
Allow the wings to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Enjoy cold or reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes
Yes, you can. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and store them for up to 2 months. Defrost completely before reheating, following the steps above.
