Bobby Flay Baked Chicken Wings Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, pressed
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
10 chicken wings

How To Make Baked Chicken Wings

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all the ingredients.
Mix the coating: In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, pressed garlic, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to mix the ingredients well.
Coat the wings: Add the chicken wings to the bag. Reseal the bag and shake/massage until the wings are thoroughly coated in the oil and spice mixture.
Arrange on baking sheet: Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet in a single layer. For better heat circulation, ensure they are not touching each other.
Bake the wings: Cook the wings in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until they are crisp and cooked through.
Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

How do I get extra crispy skin in the oven? The recipe calls for 375°F, but if you want the skin crispier, you can turn the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Watch them closely so the garlic doesn’t burn!
Why use a wire rack? Placing an oven-safe wire rack on top of your baking sheet allows the hot air to circulate under the wings. This helps the fat drip away and prevents the bottom of the wings from getting soggy.
Dry wings are key: Before adding the wings to the bag with the oil, pat them completely dry with paper towels. Removing surface moisture helps the skin crisp up rather than steam.
Double garlic: This recipe uses both pressed fresh garlic and garlic powder. Don’t skip the powder; it sticks to the skin better and provides a consistent savory flavor, while the fresh garlic adds a punchy aroma.

What To Serve With Baked Chicken Wings

These chili-garlic wings are delicious on their own, but they pair perfectly with classic wing sides.

Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing for dipping
Carrot and Celery sticks
Coleslaw
French Fries or Potato Wedges

How To Store Baked Chicken Wings

Refrigerate: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat: To restore the crispiness, reheat the wings in an air fryer at 375°F for 4-5 minutes, or in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes. Microwaving will make them rubbery.
Freeze: You can freeze the cooked wings for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use this marinade for grilling?

Yes! This oil-based marinade is perfect for the grill. Grill over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, turning often to prevent the garlic from burning.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Absolutely. Place the coated wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 380°F for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy.

Is this recipe spicy?

It has a mild heat from the chili powder. If you want it spicy, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the bag in step 2.
