Most of the time I make wings either on a charcoal grill using the Vortex insert, on my Char-Broil Big Easy, in an air fryer, or I deep fry them. But sometimes none of those options are available. Or I like to just cook my wings differently. That’s when I ‘fire up’ my convection oven. And you know, the wings are actually pretty darned good! Nothing will ever match deep frying wings in oil, but this is close enough when a deep fryer isn’t available. And since there’s not all that oil (and mess), these are a bit healthier and cleanup is quicker! These crispy convection oven wings satisfy my wing craving just fine, thank you!
No Sad Wings!
When your crispy convection oven wings are done, don’t make them sad by adding cold wing sauce right out of the fridge! That cold sauce will kill some of that crispiness that you had, and it’ll make your wings mighty darned cold! So if you’re using leftover, refrigerated sauce, warm it up while the wings are cooking. Then sauce those little beauties right out of the oven!
In A Hurry?
You can skip the overnight ‘marinade’ if you don’t have the time. Just some oil and the seasoning on the wings, and into the oven they go. They’ll still be fantastically good.
Crispier?
If you want to put the wings under the broiler for a few minutes after they are cooked to crisp them up even more and give them more color you can. BUT! You cannot keep them on parchment paper or a silpat if you do this!!! You must remove the wings and place them directly on a baking sheet. NO PARCHMENT PAPER! NOTHING! And keep an eye on them. They’ll burn quickly.
