Tips for Perfect Crispy Baked Chicken Wings:
Dry the Wings Thoroughly: Moisture is the enemy of crispiness! Use paper towels to pat the wings dry before tossing them with seasonings.
High Heat: Baking at 400°F is essential for crispy skin. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before you put the chicken wings in.
Don’t Overcrowd: Spread the wings out in a single layer with space between them. Overcrowding can cause them to steam instead of bake.
