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 simply seasoned them with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper then baked them for 45 minutes. Dinner was done! How easy is that? Quick, simple, and tasty – my kind of recipe.
How to Make Baked Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place your baking rack near the top of the oven. Line a baking sheet with tin foil then coat it with cooking spray.
Trim the chicken wings – If you need help, see 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.
Spread the wings out on the pan and place them into the oven to bake for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken after 30 minutes then continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is crispy and cooked through.
Serve plain or with your favorite dipping 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!
