Here’s a flavorful recipe for Old Bay Chicken Wings—crispy, spicy, and perfect as an appetizer or game-day snack:
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top (optional for crispier wings).
2. Prepare wings
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.
- Toss wings in olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Bake the wings
- Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until wings are golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve
- Serve hot with lemon wedges, ranch or blue cheese dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for Extra Crispy Wings
- Pat wings completely dry before seasoning.
- Optional: Broil the wings for 2–3 minutes at the end to get extra crispiness.
- For added flavor, toss wings in melted butter with extra Old Bay after baking.
If you want, I can also give an air fryer version of Old Bay chicken wings that’s faster and extra crispy.
