This Easy Baked Chicken Wings recipe offers a simple, flavorful way to prepare crispy chicken wings without frying. Marinated in a zesty blend of mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and poultry seasoning, these wings are baked to golden perfection in the oven, making them a perfect crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 12-15 whole chicken wings

Seasoning & Marinade

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (less if using salted spice blends)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 – 1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning or any preferred seasoning mix
  • 1/2 – 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise (Greek yogurt can also be used)
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, grated or minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Separate the whole chicken wings at the joint to discard the tips, keeping only the wing and drumette portions. You may save the tips for making chicken broth.
  2. Marinate: In a bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, poultry seasoning, paprika, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Ensure the wings are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 48 hours. If refrigerated, bring them to room temperature before baking.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature between 425 and 450 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to fully heat while you prepare the wings on the baking sheet.
  4. Arrange the Wings: Place the marinated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Using a rimmed baking sheet is recommended to catch drippings and make cleanup easier.
  5. Bake: Bake the wings on the top rack of the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or 30 to 35 minutes if using small or frozen wings and a large rimmed baking sheet. Check for any liquid accumulation and pour it off to ensure crispiness.
  6. Serve: Serve the wings hot. Optionally, accompany with barbecue sauce, Buffalo wing sauce, or your preferred dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Marinate times can vary from 30 minutes to 48 hours — longer marinating enhances flavor.
  • If using frozen wings, baking time may be shorter due to their smaller size.
  • Removing wing tips improves presentation and makes the wings easier to eat.
  • Bringing refrigerated wings to room temperature before baking ensures more even cooking.
  • Pour off any accumulated liquid during baking to help the wings crisp up.
  • Greek yogurt can be substituted for mayonnaise for a healthier marinade option.
