Basic Healthy Baked Chicken Wings
You can cook deliciously crispy, easy and healthy baked chicken wings in the oven in just 45 minutes! How to make crispy baked chicken wings without baking powder or flour—just salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil.
Ingredients
- 16 oz chicken wings (6-8 wings, depending on size)
- 1-2 tsp avocado oil (a drizzle)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (210°C).
- Pat wings dry with paper towels or absorbent kitchen towels.
- Add wings to a bowl and drizzle with oil, then sprinkle on salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Arrange seasoned wings in a single layer on a wire baking rack on top of a baking sheet. (Or, if you don’t have a wire rack, arrange directly onto a lined baking sheet.)
- Bake 40-45 minutes until crisp to your liking. (If you don’t have a wire rack, bake 25 minutes, then flip wings and bake another 15-20 minutes.)
- Finish with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve garnished with parsley.

Notes
*Nutrition provided per 4oz baked chicken wings (3-4 wings) including meat and skin, with the bone removed. Since the bone consists of about half the weight of bone-in chicken wings, a 16-oz package yields around 8 oz of meat—enough to feed 2 people.
