Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare baking sheets with aluminum foil and a wire rack if available.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with melted butter until generously coated.
  3. Lay the wings out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart.
  4. Sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the wings, making sure they are evenly seasoned.
  5. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  6. For extra crunch, reduce the oven temperature to 170°F (77°C) and keep the wings warm for an additional 30 to 60 minutes.
  7. Once done, let wings cool slightly and serve warm, possibly with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
