How to get Crunchy Oven Baked Chicken Wings
Crispy and crunchy wings - with no extra breading - take a bit of technique to get to perfectly mimic a deep fried wings texture.
If you’re looking for crunchy keto chicken wings - this is one technique you will want to bookmark to use again and again!
Pat Wings Dry
We’re using the fat in the chicken wings to crisp them without frying - which is easier if wings are completely dry going into the oven.
Excess liquid from packaging or water on your wings can cause wings to steam instead of crisp - making skin soggier. Quickly pat wings dry with a paper towel to get a crispier wing.
Cook on wire racks
Cooking chicken wings on a wire rack encourages better air circulation all around the chicken wings, which will help them cook faster and crisp more.
Lightly grease wire racks with olive oil, coconut oil, or another fat you prefer to make it less likely to stick to the chicken wings.
Toss in Sauce Last
This will help to reduce any chance for your wings to get soggy from the sauce.
Make sure to use from the oven hot wings - the sauce sticks better to hotter wings what have been patted dry with paper towels to remove excess oil and fat and then tossed with sauce.
Tips to Easy Clean Baked Chicken Wings
Baking chicken wings in the oven can be a messy job to clean up - but with a couple of tips and tricks, you can bake and sauce your chicken wings without making a huge mess.
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Use a metal cooling rack coated with nonstick cooking spray to lift wings up so grease can drip off wings to prevent sticking.
- When chicken has cooked, let sit on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Then move wings to bowl to get coated in sauce.
