Baked Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings
I saw a recipe for these baked salt and pepper chicken wings on Food and Wine that looked tasty and easy for our meal tonight. I trimmed the wings, then seasoned them simply with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, and baked them for 45 minutes. These wings are delicious as they are, but they are also tasty dipped in barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or hot sauce. This easy baked chicken wing recipe paired nicely with stove-top macaroni and cheese and a loaded garden salad.

How to Make Baked Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place your baking rack near the top part of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil, then coat it with cooking spray.
Trim the chicken wings. If you need help, view the beginning of this video for simple instructions.
Once you have trimmed the wings, place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle the wings with a bit of olive oil, to taste, then season both sides with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
Spread the wings out on the baking sheet, skin side up, and place them into the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
Flip the chicken after 30 minutes, then continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is crispy and cooked through.
Serve plain or with your favorite barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or hot sauce. Enjoy.

These wings look really delicious!:)
They look amazing!
They look scrumptious!
As a Buffalo girl, it’s difficult to imagine chicken wings without hot sauce + blue cheese! 😉 haha. These do look really good though – simple and delicious!
Easy peasy! I love it! I’ll bet your son especially loved the implicit permission to eat with his fingers.
Chicken wings are a family favorite, especially for appetizers and during football season. I love how simply you prepared these wings, Pam. They are perfect for serving as is or with your favorite BBQ or hot wing sauce, etc.!
Delicious looking wings.
The simplicity of this recipe makes it fantastic. We did a similar 5 ingredient wing and I was surprised at how flavorful the wings turn out.
I love the idea of simple salt, pepper, and olive oil as seasoning. i recently saw something similar with shrimp and thought that it’s so simple, it’s genius!
Salt and pepper wings are DIVINE! I’ve just never make them myself. But I am tonight!
