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

Notes
For extra crispiness, air-dry wings in the refrigerator before baking and avoid overcrowding on the baking sheet.
