Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
How to Make Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them get crispy.
- Add the olive oil to the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Dip each wing into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated, and place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the creamy dipping sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the creamy dipping sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
Make sure to pat the wings completely dry; this is key to achieving that crispy texture. You can also experiment with different spices or herbs in the breadcrumb mixture to find your favorite flavor combination.
Easy Variations
- For a spicy kick, add more cayenne pepper or toss the wings in your favorite hot sauce after baking.
- Try different seasoning blends like ranch or Italian seasoning for unique flavors.
- Substitute the mayonnaise in the dipping sauce with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
What to Serve With It
- Celery and carrot sticks for a crunchy side.
- Fresh veggie platter with hummus or guacamole.
- Potato wedges or fries for a hearty pairing.
- A light salad to balance the richness of the wings.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness.
