This crispy baked chicken wing recipe is the best way we’ve found to cook wings that balance plump and juicy chicken on the inside with crispy skin on the outside.
Start by combining the brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, corn starch, salt, and pepper with the chili and garlic powders.
Place the wings in a large bowl, add the Tabasco sauce and apple cider vinegar, mixing the wings and the sauce together.
Add in the dry rub and mix it thoroughly with the wings, making sure the wings are evenly coated.
The wings should be cooked on a baking sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil and had a rack set on the inside.
Spray the rack with cooking spray and set the wings skin side up on the rack, leaving a little space between each wing.
Bake the wings at 350℉ for 35 to 40 minutes.
The wings are done when they're cooked all the way through and have an internal temp of 165ºF.
Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
If you're working with wings that have recently been defrosted or have a lot of liquid, it can be helpful to season them in a colander placed in the sink to get rid of any excess liquid.
