Garlic Herb Chicken Wings

An update from the classic buffalo or BBQ wings, this garlic and herb variation uses herbs de Provence, a mixture of dried herbs found in southeastern France. Don’t worry – the herbs are easily found at most grocery stores.

How to make Garlic and Herb Baked Chicken Wings – step by step

Making these baked chicken wings is divided into four easy steps:

1. Season: oil, spices, salt
2. Bake: 30 minutes, flipping halfway through
3. Brush: coat every inch with the garlic honey glaze
4. Broil: to your desired level of crispiness

What’s the best way of cooking wings?

Wings can be cooked in many ways, each with their unique style. Fried wings have a great crunch factor, but added fat. Grilled wings have a great smokey flavor, but they’re best saved for nice weather for grilling.

Baked chicken wings get a slow-roasted flavor and the broiler can be used to get a nice crispy exterior. 

Easy chicken wing recipe

These baked chicken wings are an easy and fuss-free appetizer.  No hot oil and no lengthy marinades or messy dry rubs, you just pop them in the oven and let them do their thing!

This easy recipe uses just a handful of basic ingredients, and you will have a tasty chicken platter on the table in no time!

How long to bake chicken wings?

I baked these chicken wings at 400ºf for just over 30 minutes and they were perfectly cooked and crispy. If you have a meat or instant read thermometer, the temperature for cooked chicken is 165ºf.

The chicken wings should be served to the table immediately along with your favorite dips and side salads.

More Top Tips

• Put the wings into a pre-heated oven for maximum crispiness!
• Use fresh herbs as a garnish.
• Use organic / free range chicken.
