how long do you bake hot wings
The baking time for hot wings can vary depending on the temperature, size of the wings, and desired level of crispiness. Here are some general guidelines:
Baked Hot Wings Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse and pat dry 2-3 pounds of chicken wings.
- Toss the wings with your favorite sauce (BBQ, buffalo, honey mustard, etc.) and seasonings.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Arrange the wings on the sheet in a single layer.
Baking Times:
- For small to medium-sized wings:
- 25-30 minutes at 400°F (200°C) for a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
- 30-35 minutes at 375°F (190°C) for a slightly less crispy exterior.
- For larger wings:
- 35-40 minutes at 400°F (200°C) for a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
- 40-45 minutes at 375°F (190°C) for a slightly less crispy exterior.
Tips:
- To get extra crispy wings, increase the oven temperature to broil (high) for the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a more tender wing, bake at a lower temperature (350°F/175°C) for a longer period (45-60 minutes).
- Always check the internal temperature of the wings to ensure they reach a safe minimum of 165°F (74°C).
Remember, the key to achieving perfect baked hot wings is to not overcrowd the baking sheet and to adjust the baking time based on the size of your wings and your desired level of crispiness.
