These 3 Ingredient Crispy Baked Chicken Wings are the best thing I’ve made in a long time. In fact, after putting these together, I wanted to call everyone I know and say, “You have to make this easy chicken wings recipe, NOW!”
You may have noticed, they’re the only things I’ve made in a long time. In our absence, we featured the culinary art of a few of the best food bloggers on the globe, while we traveled it.
These 3 Ingredient Crispy Baked Italian Chicken Wings seem like the ideal post to feature upon our return. I just know that you’re going to love them.
What are these?
You may have noticed that I chose to use some medium-size chicken wings for this easy baked chicken wings recipe.
Call me big-boned if you will, I was planning on making these for the kids and us, and I wanted something a bit more substantial than the smaller chicken wings that most of us associate with traditional chicken wings. Let me assure you, either size works!
Recipe highlights
- They’re baked, not fried. Less fat and no grease!
- Just THREE (3) ingredients, including the chicken.
- Kid-friendly
- They’re wonderfully crispy.
Scott made a great point by observing that these baked chicken wings don’t require a sauce to dip them in. I have to agree.
Nonetheless, we used a bottle of our favorite salad dressing. The combination was sublime.
Sauce or no sauce, please give this easy baked chicken wings recipe a try.
You won’t believe how wonderful they taste, how easy they are to make, and how affordable they are to enjoy.

3 Ingredient Crispy Baked Italian Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- 4 lbs chicken wings, bone-in
- 2 tbs baking powder
- 4 oz. (packets) dry Italian dressing seasoning, we used Wishbone
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250° F. Using paper towels, pat the chicken wings dry. Combine dry ingredients in small mixing bowl. Use fork to stir thoroughly. Note: Make sure you are using baking powder NOT baking soda. Place chicken wings in large mixing bowl and slowly sprinkle dry ingredients over the chicken wings while stirring with a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Be sure to cover as much of the chicken as possible, with the dry ingredients. Spray oven rack with non-stick coating. Place rack on bottom center position of oven. Place chicken wings directly on oven rack (use foil-lined baking sheets to catch drippings on lower rack.) Bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, increase oven temperature to 425° F. Raise up rack of chicken wings to center level. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 425°, until wings are brown and crispy. Remove from oven and allow to rest for five minutes before serving or mixing with optional sauce.

Your wings look amazing — but what REALLY caught my eye was the photo of Aux Vieux Paris- We were in paris last year and stayed about a block away from Notre Dame Aux Vieux Paris was on the same block as our flat and I have an identical photo on my blog post: http://www.garlicandzest.com/paris-restaurants-and-cafes LOL!
