Baked chicken wings are, no doubt, a game day classic. And here's the thing, this version? It brings a lighter, extra tender twist. So, instead of frying, these wings are marinated in yogurt. Really good stuff. This not only makes them super moist but also helps the spices stick. Paprika adds that smoky punch, while the oven works its magic for that crispy skin everyone loves. And look, unlike fried wings, this style lets you indulge without feeling heavy—pretty awesome, right?

Here's the deal: the oven-baked method brings out unique flavors. The wings stay juicy inside and crunchy outside. Loaded with seasoning—from tangy yogurt to smoky paprika—these wings are anything but plain. Having friends over?

I mean, this healthy baked chicken wings recipe packs tons of flavor, no question.

The marinade adds extra tenderness, and the seasoning works for anyone who loves a bit of heat. Some call them spicy baked chicken wings, but you can tweak the kick to suit your crowd. And since they're not fried, there's less mess. Really, way way better. With countless chicken wing recipes, this oven-baked version is perfect for mixing things up. Can't go wrong. Still gives you that golden color and taste.

Grab some napkins—because seriously, these wings won't last long once people start snacking. They're especially good hot from the oven, crispy outside, and packed with rich flavor from all that baked chicken wing seasoning.

How to prepare Baked chicken wings

To prepare baked chicken wings, pour the yogurt into a large bowl, season with salt 1 and pepper, add the lemon juice 2, and mix. Immerse the chicken wings 3.

Cover with plastic wrap 4 and let marinate for 3 hours in the refrigerator. After the marinating time, drain the wings coarsely, so as not to completely remove the yogurt. In a bowl, pour the flour and paprika 5, coat the wings 6.

Then place the seasoned wings in a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then sprinkle with more paprika and finish with a drizzle of oil 7. Bake in a preheated oven for about 35 minutes (cooking time may vary depending on the size of the wings, if necessary continue for another 10 minutes) at 356°F in convection mode, or 392°F in static mode. At the end of cooking, sprinkle with a light chive chop 8 and serve the baked chicken wings hot 9.

Storage

You can store baked chicken wings for one day in the refrigerator in an airtight container and reheat them before serving. Freezing is not recommended.
