Golden Oven-Baked Chicken Wings – The Best Healthy Recipe

Dani

Crispy, juicy, and golden with turmeric and paprika, these oven-baked chicken wings are a healthier alternative to fried wings. Baked on a rack so the fat drips away, they’re packed with flavour but light enough to enjoy anytime.

Equipment

1 Sheet Pan

1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients

1 kg Chicken wings
2 tbsp Rice bran oil
1 tbsp Turmeric
1 tbsp Sweet red paprika
1 tsp Salt sea or pink
1 tsp Black pepper grinded

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine rice bran oil, turmeric, paprika, pink salt, and black pepper. Mix to create a golden marinade.
Add the chicken wings and toss until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan).
Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil, then place an oven-safe rack over it. Arrange the wings on the rack in a single layer.
Bake for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately with fresh salad or roasted vegetables.

Notes

Pat wings dry before marinating for extra crispiness.

For spicier wings, add ½ tsp chilli powder.

Can be cooked in an air fryer at 180°C for 20–25 minutes.

Best served hot, but leftovers reheat well in the oven.
