IngredientsYou'll only need a few simple ingredients to make these delicious wings. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need: Fresh chicken wings: I usually buy them in trays labeled as "party wings," already split into flats and drumettes, with the tips removed. Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. Unsalted butter should be fine too. And you can also simply spray the chicken with some oil rather than coat them in butter. Kosher salt and black pepper: I use kosher salt in most of my recipes. If using fine salt, you might want to use less of it or the dish could turn out too salty. Spices: I like to use garlic powder and paprika. You can use smoked paprika if you'd like. And onion powder is also very good, in addition to or instead of the garlic powder.

I simply start cooking two hours before dinnertime. How to make chicken wings crispy? I used to think you needed to flour them to get them crispy. But there's actually no need for flour. The skin will crisp up beautifully in the hot oven. And keeping them in the oven on the "warm" setting after they're done will crisp them up even more. So I highly recommend this extra step. Can you bake wings instead of frying them? Absolutely. I now love this recipe and make it often, but I actually started making it out of sheer laziness. I really dislike deep frying and much prefer baking. I also prefer to avoid breading, keeping the wings not just gluten-free but also keto and low-carb. So I decided to simply season them, then bake them in a hot oven. Surprise! They came out of the oven crispy, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Recommended side dishesIf you serve these wings as an entree, rather than an appetizer, you can serve them with lots of yummy side dishes! A few of my favorites include:

Variations and substitutionsI love this recipe as is and almost always make it as written. But in case you'd like to vary the basic recipe, here are a few ideas for you:
Storing leftoversLeftovers keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Reheat them gently, covered, in the microwave on 50% power. Or reheat them in a low oven. You can also freeze the leftovers. Place the cooked wings in freezer bags and freeze them for up to three months. The day before you plan on serving them, place them in the fridge, to allow them to slowly defrost overnight. When ready to serve, reheat them in the microwave or - better yet - in the oven.
