In reply to Fiona. Yes, you do. Since we are using a wire rack the heat travels to the bottom of the wings eliminating the need to turn them. However, for even cooking, I recommend rotating the sheet pan halfway through. Hope this helps.

Hi,

This looks amazing! Just one questions – do you leave the wings skin side down for the whole time they bake?

Thanks!

Hi Ice! I am making this recipe right now, still in the low oven initial step. I am from Buffalo and want to offer this secret tip for the sauce: adding a capful of plain white vinegar to the sauce just before pouring it over the wings. Also no molasses, you’d get kicked out of the city for that 🙂 just Frank’s and butter, then the vinegar at the end. When they serve them under an inverted bowl (for the bones), you get smacked in the nose by the vinegar when the bowl is lifted.

This is my new goto for wings I have always baked them but this approach, low heat, then high heat really worked perfectly. The wings were crisp and delicious.

In reply to Teresea Heard. I think so. You can use any sauce that you enjoy with your wings.

Do you have to use hot sauce? Can you use wing sauce?

In reply to kj. Hi KJ, What a great idea to make it with drumsticks.. How long did it take? I'd think it would take a little longer? no? Thanks for letting me know. Best - Ice

In reply to Darrell Smith. Hi Darrell, The initial, low heat oven helps with drying the skin and rendering the fat, which helps with getting a crispier end product. So, to answer your question, I wouldn't skip it. Please let me know if I may answer any other questions you may have.

By: Darrell Smith

Darrell Smith — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 20:19:23 +0000

Can I ask what the 30 min at 250 on the bottom rack does for the wings? Can this be skipped?

In reply to Stephanie. Hi Stephanie, I think so. I guess it may end up being a little less crunchy but I think it would be just fine. Let me know how it turns out. Cheers! Ice

I don’t have a wire rack to put on the baking sheet. Can I cook directly on the foil kind baking sheet?

I found your recipe last night at about 11pm and decided I had to try it. It was great. I didn’t have as much wings as you used so I basically eyeballed it. Lol. I loved it!!

I wrote a review on it here: http://www.homemadezagat.com/2014/04/recipe-no-fry-chicken-wings.html

In reply to Helen. Hi Helen, For this particular recipe I wouldn't freeze. The beauty of these chicken wings is the fact that they are super crispy after they come out of the oven. I am afraid they will loose their crispiness if you freeze them. Though I must say, the leftovers for the next day were not too bad. Hope this helps. Please let me know if I may answer any other questions. Thanks for stopping by! Ice

In reply to Ashley. Hi Ashley, Yes, you should. I would allow them to sit in the fridge overnight. Also prior to coating them with baking powder (next day), allow them to sit on the kitchen counter for at least half an hour. This way they will be completely thawed. Since I have very limited access to fresh chicken on the island, I always use frozen chicken. So you shouldn't have any problems. But like I said, they should be completely thawed for a good result. Let me know if you have any other questions. I am here to help! Cheers.. Ice

I bought a bag of frozen chicken wings. Should I thaw them out before trying to coat them with baking powder?

In reply to J. Hey there J, I am glad to hear that they turned out good. I am the same way. I love chicken wings but feel guilty after eating a bunch of them... I had to find a way. :) Thank you for sharing.. Cheers! Ice

I found your recipe on pinterest and I had to leave a post thanking you for this! I made these tonight and the wings turned out just perfect. I can’t wait to make my boyfriend try these when he gets back from his trip. We both enjoy wings so much, but feel guilty after we eat 10 of them.

I might use a different sauce and omit the honey/molasses next time though.(Sriracha is too sweet for me already).

But thanks so much – I’m sharing!

I tried another recipe on another site and many things went wrong with my hot wings on Superbowl Sundy; #1- they were not HOT!, the sauce did not stick, and the skin barely got crisp. Looking at your recipe, I already see it’s going to be GREAT turnout! Thank YOU so much, now I can redeem myself. LoL!

In reply to Crystal Ball. Dear Crystal, Ha ha... I love, love and love the fact that you love these wings. Who would know you can have wings these good without frying them?? Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you'll get a chance to try some other recipes. Cheers! Ice

Wow… When I first read this review I was skeptical to say the least. But I have seen the light. These wings are easily the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. I would like to take a moment to thank you for you have changed my life. The only downside is that I have now gained 20 pounds from eating wings every day for the past week.

With lots of love and hot sauce,

Crystal

Sounds delicious and great tips on how to get a crispy coating without frying – that’s always the appeal of frying over baking!

My husband is also obsessed with wings! I need to make these for him – I can’t believe that they aren’t fried! They look delicious, and your photographs are gorgeous!
