Crispy Baked Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings – these will probably be the simplest and most amazing wings you’ll ever make. Generously seasoned with salt and pepper and baked to a crisp perfection!
I can never make enough chicken wings, they go way too fast. Between hubs and the dog, I’m lucky if I get a couple chicken wings. Not to mention salt and pepper wings are both our favorites.
There’s a pub in our neighbourhood we frequent often, and on Tuesday nights they have wings for .29 cents and we always always get the salt and pepper wings.
But I’ll be honest with you now and tell you that mine are better. Not because of the ingredients, I mean let’s face it, we’re talking salt and pepper, but simply because my wings are baked.
Baked Chicken Wings
I always bake my chicken wings, and they are so much better than the fried ones. They turn out super crispy and not to mention a lot less calories.
Salt and pepper wings, make this your project this weekend and enjoy them, guilt free! I did use smoked sea salt on my wings and let me tell you that if you’ve never had smoked sea salt before, you are missing out, it will give your wings a nice smokey flavor.
I’d love to hear how you like it, if you’ve tried it! Hubs and I went wild and bought a bunch of smoked sea salt, we put that stuff on everything now. It’s about as wild as we go!
How Long Do You Bake Chicken Wings for
Chicken wings take about 40 minutes to bake until they’re nice and crispy at 425 F degrees. However, each oven is different, so start looking in on them after 30 minutes.

Recipe Notes
Nutrition Information:
Can these be made ahead and then just be reheated without losing its crispness and freshness? Or do they taste like warmed up chicken wings?
Yeah I’m afraid they’re going to lose some of that crispness. You could always warm them up in the oven to regain some of that but they won’t be the same as fresh.
This is one of the best chicken wing recipe I’ve ever tried.
Thanks for posting it!
My pleasure, so glad you liked it!
Tried it multiple times, completely foolproof! I squeeze a bit of lemon juice to cut the richness for my own spin
This was the very first time I have enjoyed eating wings! And my husband said they were the best wings he’d ever had. I made them exactly according to the recipe, and we ate them straight up—no sauces or dips. And they are ridiculously easy. Win!
So good and easy
