Flavorful Chicken Wings Without Frying

I have a confession – I had never made Chicken Wings until two weeks ago. Now I understand the rage! The great thing about the recipe I used was that they were not fried….nor were they air-fried! There was an option to bake them in the oven, and I was so impressed with the results! These were so flavorful! The seasoning gave them the flavor that had us gnawing on the bones!

Skinny Taste has done it again!

I added a Pesto Pea Salad and Roasted Potatoes with the wings to round out the meal and it was a fantastic supper menu!

Chicken wings

Air Fryer (or Oven-Baked Wings)

Ingredients

  • 20 chicken wingettes and drumettes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  • Pat the wings dry so there is no moisture. Spray the air fryer basket with oil.
  • In a large bowl, season the wings with salt, spices and baking powder to coat well.
  • Transfer the wings to the air fryer basket in a single layer, in batches as needed and air fry 400F 16 to 22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.

Oven Method

  • Bake them on a rack 425°F for 45 minutes, flipping halfway.

These needed no dipping sauces – they were wonderful as is! If you love wings, you’ll love this recipe. If you’re like me and have never made them, you need to put this on your menu! This easy recipe has lots of flavor for its minimal work!!
