Crispy oven-baked chicken wings—no deep-frying required—are one of my absolute favorite dishes for cozy winter evenings. My family devoured them in no time last Sunday. If you love crispy wings but don’t want to use a deep fryer or loads of oil, you’ll love this oven-baked method. It’s inspired by a restaurant technique, and the result? A golden crust, a juicy interior, and a taste like it came from a professional kitchen.
… Why you should try this recipe:

No deep-frying and no unnecessary fat
Perfectly crispy crust from the oven
Simple ingredients found in every household
Ideal for dinner, as a special treat, or for a weekend meal
A combination of meat and vegetables in one oven dish

Ingredients
For the chicken wings:
1 kg chicken wings
Water for soaking
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika powder
2 tsp dried oregano
For the roasted vegetables:
2 leeks
6–7 carrots
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
1 tbsp honey

Preparation:

1️⃣ Prepare the wings: Place the wings in a bowl, cover with water, and add the baking soda and vinegar. Let them soak for a few minutes. Then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels – a dry surface is crucial for crispiness.

Season with salt, pepper, garlic, oil, paprika, and oregano. Mix well.

2️⃣ Prepare the vegetables: Combine the chopped leeks and carrots with oil, salt, and honey. Spread on a baking sheet.

3️⃣ Bake: Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).

Bake the chicken wings for about 35 minutes. Bake the vegetables for about 30 minutes. If baking both at the same time, place the chicken wings on the top rack to brown nicely.
