Description
Deliciously crispy chicken wings coated with ranch seasoning and a buttery glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings (I use split wings/party wings.)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chives
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried dill
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste (See notes.)
- 2–3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 tablespoon chives
- 1/2 tablespoon dried dill
- 1–2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1–2 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Pat the chicken dry and place it in a large bowl or plastic bag.
- Add all of the spices to the chicken. Rub the spices into the meat to ensure the chicken isn’t bland, looking for “bald spots” and adding more spices as needed.
- Line a sheet pan with a baking rack or parchment paper and add the wings. A baking rack works best for crispy wings because it allows airflow; when wings sit directly on a sheet pan or parchment paper, the bottoms steam in their own juice creating soggy wings.
- Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, ensuring the wings reach a minimum temperature of 165 degrees using a meat thermometer.
- Optional Ranch Butter Glaze: In a small saucepan or microwave, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining ranch seasoning.
- Add the hot wings to a bowl and drizzle with the ranch butter. Toss until the wings are glossy and coated or brush the butter onto each of the wings.
- For an air fryer method, pat the chicken dry and place it in the air fryer basket, spritzing with cooking oil.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees. Open the air fryer and flip the chicken, cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes or until crisp, ensuring the wings reach a minimum temperature of 165 degrees.
Notes
- Salt and pepper to taste based on personal preference and can be adjusted.
- Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken wings.
