Notes
Storage:
Store any leftover crispy baked chicken wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. Better yet, if you have an air fryer, this is the best way to reheat; it will make the skin just as crispy as the first time you baked them!
You can easily bake the wings an hour or so ahead of time too and then reheat in the oven right before serving to guests.
Tips:
- Pat the chicken wings very dry. This is the first step to a crispy skin. By removing excess moisture you are already helping the skin to become very crispy.
- Bake the wings on a wire rack. By roasting them at a high temperature and on a rack, you are allowing the air to circulate on all sides so they get crispy and golden brown everywhere.
- Broil at the end of cooking. This is one last step to making the skin super crispy before tossing in the sauce.
- Only toss in sauce right before serving. If you want to bake the wings in advance, reheat them again before tossing in the sauce to re-crisp the skin.
