Step 1

Prepare the Chicken Wings

Start by thoroughly washing the chicken wings under cold water. Once cleaned, make sure to dry them well using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy texture.

Step 2

Make the Breading

In a large bag, combine breadcrumbs, salt, and your choice of spices. You can customize the seasoning to suit your taste preferences, adding garlic powder, paprika, or even cayenne pepper for a kick.

Step 3

Coat the Wings

Add the dried chicken wings to the bag with the breadcrumb mixture. Seal the bag tightly and shake it well until all wings are evenly coated. This will create that delicious crunchy exterior.

Step 4

Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit). This high temperature is key for getting the wings crispy. As the oven heats up, take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Step 5

Bake the Wings

Arrange the coated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking. Lightly spray the wings with vegetable oil to enhance crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have developed a crispy skin.

Step 6

Serve and Enjoy

Once done, remove the chicken wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy your delicious and crispy baked chicken wings!
