If you know me, you know I LOVE chicken wings! I’ve made thousands of wings in my life and developed 16 recipes that you will love making at home!
Whether you’ve got a deep fryer, an air fryer, an oven, or a grill, there’s a crispy wing here for you. I’ve grouped them into three sections: crispy wings for any cooking method, classic sauced wings, and my favorite Asian-style wings.
Crispy Wings, Any Method
1. Air Fryer Chicken Wings
My most popular recipe on my website – so simple and ready in about 20 minutes, the perfect air fryer wings (with no breading needed!)
2. Baked Chicken Wings
No deep frying needed when you have my two secrets to crispy wings in the oven: baking powder and a wire rack! Eat them plain or tossed in your favorite sauce.
3. Crispy Fried Chicken Wings
These are my ULTIMATE chicken wings! They’re marinated in garlic and ginger, then double fried so the wings have craggy, extra crunchy skin that stays crispy even after you sauce them!
4. Grilled Chicken Wings
This is how to get the perfect juicy grilled chicken wings! Learn how to use indirect and direct heat; at the end you can brush with the sauce of your choice or leave them as is!
Classic Sauced Wings
5. Buffalo Wings
Classic for a reason – but better than any bar or restaurant! Make a double or triple batch, because these go FAST!
6. Air Fryer Buffalo Wings
All the flavor of my classic buffalo wings in under 25 minutes, no deep fryer needed! Baking powder does the crisping, then you toss them in that same buttery buffalo sauce.
7. Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings
The lemon pepper flavor is in the marinade AND the coating. At the end, I brush on a lemony butter that is SO good (brushed, not tossed, so they stay crispy!).
8. Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
Wingstop lovers, you need to try this one! The rich garlic butter and parmesan coating is SO addictive, you won’t be able to stop eating these!
9. Hot Honey Chicken Wings
Sweet, spicy, and SO sticky! These are marinated in hot sauce, double fried, and glazed with a simple hot honey butter.
Asian-Style Wings
10. Korean Gochujang Honey Wings
These sticky, sweet, crispy gochujang wings are always a crowd pleaser! If you want a milder version just halve the gochujang!
11. Korean Soy Garlic Wings
My take on the wings from my favorite Korean fried chicken spots! They’re tossed in a glossy soy garlic glaze with dried red chilies, and they’re even better made at home.
12. Air Fryer Soy Garlic Wings
You get the same sticky soy garlic glaze as my classic Korean wings, without any deep frying. Baking powder gets the skin crispy in about 20 minutes!
13. Honey Sriracha Wings
If you love sweet heat, these are for you! A soy-ginger marinade, then a honey sriracha garlic glaze. Want them milder? Just halve the sriracha.
14. Thai Sweet Chili Wings
My shortcut to the BEST sweet chili wings: I level up store-bought Thai sweet chili sauce with lime, ginger, garlic, and soy. Double frying keeps them crunchy under all that sticky glaze!
15. Chinese Salt and Pepper Wings
Just like the ones from your favorite Chinese restaurant! Crispy wings get wok-tossed with garlic, ginger, and fresh chilies. Use bell peppers for less heat, or Thai chilies for more.
16. Five Spice Chicken Wings
You don’t even need a sauce for these! Right out of the fryer, I toss them in a dry blend of five spice, paprika, and Szechuan chili powder for crunchy wings packed with warm spice.
Dipping Sauces for Wings
I love serving crispy wings with a variety of homemade dipping sauces. Below are some of my favorite sauces!
