Crispy Baked Turkey Wings (Printable Version)
Golden, extra crispy turkey wings baked in the oven with just three ingredients for effortless flavor and crunch.
# Ingredients:
→ Turkey Wings
01 -
8 split turkey wings, tips removed (or 4 whole turkey wings cut into drumettes and flats)
→ Seasoning
02 -
4 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
03 -
1 teaspoon fine salt
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F, or 135°C for convection). Line a baking sheet with foil and fit with an oven-safe wire rack. Lightly brush or spray the rack with oil to prevent sticking.
02 -
Thoroughly pat the turkey wing pieces dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
03 -
Combine the baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the wings and toss to coat lightly and uniformly.
04 -
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Bake at 150°C for 20 minutes.
05 -
Without removing the wings, raise the oven temperature to 230°C (450°F, or 220°C convection).
06 -
Roast the wings for 30 minutes. Flip each piece and continue roasting for an additional 20–30 minutes until the skin is deeply golden and crisp. Adjust timing based on wing size and desired level of crispiness.
07 -
Remove wings from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Toss with your preferred sauce or enjoy as-is with classic accompaniments.
# Notes:
01 -
Always use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid metallic flavors.
02 -
Drying the skin thoroughly enhances crispness.
03 -
Turkey wing tips can be reserved for making stock.
04 -
For even crisper skin, air dry the seasoned wings uncovered in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
05 -
Adjust seasoning quantities proportionally if preparing a different weight of turkey wings—1 teaspoon baking powder plus ¼ teaspoon salt per pound (approx. 450 g) is recommended.
06 -
Incorporate additional dried herbs and spices with the seasoning for varied flavor profiles.
