Chicken wings are a popular, flavorful cut of chicken that can be baked, fried, grilled, or air-fried. They’re perfect as snacks, appetizers, or part of a meal, and can be tossed in sauces ranging from classic buffalo to sweet and sticky glazes.
🍗 Classic Crispy Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 kg chicken wings

- Optional: chili powder for heat
For the sauce (optional):
- 3 tbsp hot sauce

Pat dry the wings with paper towels to remove moisture (helps them crisp). - Season:
Toss wings with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and optional chili. - Bake:

💡 Tips:
- For extra crispy wings, bake at high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Patting wings dry is key for a crunchy texture.
- Marinating wings for 1–2 hours enhances flavor.
