Grab those extra napkins as these delicious finger licking super easy baked wing dings are going to be the perfect solution for tonight's dinner, an appetizer or even your next game day or party.
These chicken wings are just to die for are and super simple to make.
Every day my boys text me after school, "Whats for dinner?" It is much simpler for me to text wing dings or just wings so the name has just stuck.
With just 6 little ingredients and 45 minutes you can have these baked chicken wings on your table for the whole hungry crew. The skin is crispy and savory and too irresistible just to eat one. Tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. My boys love them so much they eat 20 super easy baked wing dings per hungry teenager in one sitting, maybe even more.
Isn't it just purely amazing the amount of food hungry teenage boys can pack away in one sitting. I always warn my husband to keep his hands and feet away from their mouths or he could lose a digit. It is almost like watching a horror film, a shark in a feeding frenzy or maybe even a lion going in for the kill. Scouts honour, I really do feed them 3 square meals but you would think they have been stranded on a desserted island for years and this is the first time they have seen real food.
My favourite question that always happens at the dinner table is..."Mom, are you going to eat that?- as the point to something on my plate... I have learned my lesson the hard way for many years and now always, always, always serve my self first and put my food on my plate before bringing it out to the cleanup crew. Do teenage boys even chew? One utterly important question, do teenage boys eat like this in front of their girlfriends too?
I used to spend time trying to make deep-fried chicken wings with the spicy hot sauce to dip in but that has cardiac arrest written all over it. This is the baked slimmed down version of wing dings. These super easy baked wings are so tasty you do not even need dipping sauces. These easy baked wing dings are gluten-free, lactose free and egg free so they have that going for them as well.
The secret to tasty chicken wings is the longer marinade time. I like to marinade my wings for at least 4 hours. So, if you can do this before you go off to work or school, then you are good to go. The marinade needs time to penetrate the chicken so it is not just a layer of flavor on the top but you can taste it all the way through the wing. This is the secret to delicious wings.
I like to the use the chicken wings mid joints section as these are the meatier section of the wing. I guess you could really use any portion of the chicken you wish but you may have to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
So are you ready to make some rocking good wings for your hungry crew?
Our super easy baked wing ding marinade is super easy. You just wash and dry your chicken wings well and put them in a zipper plastic bag. Add a little olive oil, seasoned salt, paprika, garlic and pepper and shake well. If you like them spicy, then add a little of Kick n Chick seasoning by Weber. Bake and Enjoy! How easy is that?!?!

Super Easy Baked Wing Dings
Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds Chicken mid-joint wings (I used Tyson Frozen mid-joint wings- thawed)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kick N Chicken Weber's Seasoning optional (if you like spicy or can add dried red chili peppers to taste)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees Celsius)
- If using frozen wings, thaw them first. An easy way to thaw wings is to place them in a large bowl and fill with water and this should get them thawed quicker. Drain well. Wash and dry your mid-section chicken wings. It is really important to get your wings EXTRA dry. We use paper towels to do this. Being vigilant about the drying process, makes for an extra crispy wing ding. In a sealable plastic bag, add your chicken wings, olive oil, seasoned salt, paprika, garlic powder and pepper. Shake well to make sure the marinade is evenly distributed among the wings. Place marinating chicken wings in the refrigerator on a plate (in case of leakage) to chill for at least 4 hours.
- Place chicken wings on a greased pan. (I have to emphasise that whole greased pan thing so do it well as they do like to stick. In addition when you go to turn them be careful so you don't rip off the delicious crispy skin as this is the best part.) I like to put my wings on the pan with skin side down first. If your family/friends like their wings spicy, then you can add a little sprinkle of Kick n Chicken spice or dried red pepper flakes to add a little punch. If you like them mild, like me, then these are just perfect as is.
- Turn the wings after about 25-30 minutes of baking. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the wings are super crispy on the top. Remove from oven.
- Serve wing dings hot out of the oven with your favorite beer or rootbeer for the kids. Enjoy!

These wings are to die for!!! That marinade made all the difference. I did add 1 tsp. of lemon pepper seasoning to my spices. After 1 hour in the oven, the wings were crispy, yet so tender on the inside. My boyfriend and I took them out of the oven, and ate them straight from the baking pan. Seriously, they didn't even get served on a plate. I easily had consumed 15 wings. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. And if your debating on making this recipe, Go For It! You will NOT be disappointed.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Dear Sherese thank you so much for your kind comment and I am so glad that you and your boyfriend like our Super Easy Baked Wings Dings. I like your addition of lemon pepper seasoning, I will have to try that one next time. These super easy baked wing dings are kind of addictive. I can never seem to make enough to satisfy my growing teenage boys. Heck 15 for them is like just a little taste tester... Thanks again for stopping by and wishing you a super week!
Amanda says
Second time I've made these and they are to die for. Seasonings are perfect & the wings turn out REAL crispy, just like the recipe says. The only thing I changed was I used the whole wing, including the tip, love that crunchy part. To those who write about how good they LOOK-do yourself a favor and make them. Thanks so much for this recipe, this is the only way I'll make crispy wings.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Amanda thanks so much for your kind comment!! I am so delighted to hear that your family likes this recipe. Happy cooking and have a super holiday! Take Care, BAM
Isaac says
Awsome easy recipe made with ingredients that you have around the kitchen. Baked them then tossed in some Sweet baby rays. The skin stayed crisp just how I like. Thanks for the great recipe!!!
Carolyn Chan says
I have a current obsession with midjoint wings and mine are sticky and gooey but I do miss the crispy skinned type - just never have had the courage to actually deep fry anything. These look AMAZING and will definitely be on in next week's dinner !!
Kathleen Richardson says
I'm sure, BAM, that my SIL and grandsons would love these. Not so, my vegetarian daughter 🙂

Paprika is something which does the trick to even a simple dish! I am sure these chicken wings are among the best in the town!!
jothetartqueen says
You are right about the marinating time! I try to marinate the wings early in the morning for dinner..and the flavours just penetrate through the wings..
Your wings look great..the perfect beer snack..impossible to stop eating once you get started!
Monica says
These wings look incredible! I am baking chicken wings tonight incidentally but it won't look like these! Years ago, I loved going to tea shops with my husband and having bubble tea (hot or cold) and little eats such as wings that looked like these. Brings back good memories!
