Do you love chicken wings? These delicious salt and pepper chicken wings are hands down the best I’ve ever made, and I dare say, one of the most delicious I’ve ever tried!
Delicious Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings
These wings are so simple that I literally had all the ingredients in the fridge. The addition of sesame oil, green onions, and garlic is brilliant. Sure, maybe some of you knew this already. I didn’t. This is a slightly Asian-inspired take on Salt and Pepper Chicken Wing, and it makes all the difference.
This large recipe makes approximately 36 wings, so enough for six people to have as a snack.
The flavors were just soaked in overnight, and it took all my willpower to leave some for Mike for his lunch. Don’t be scared of red pepper flakes, that is a classic combination – sesame oil and red pepper flakes, just like my favourite Chinese dishes!
How to Make Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine salt and pepper together in a bowl. Place chicken wings on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle the wings with the salt and pepper, then shake on the baking tray to cover completely.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then turn and bake for another 15-20 minutes until crispy and cooked through. We like our wings very crispy.
- As soon as the wings are close to being done, heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the garlic and onions. (You can add jalapeno as well if you like.)
- Cook until the garlic has browned slightly.
Remove chicken wings from the oven and place them in a large bowl. - Toss the chicken wings with the garlic oil until completely coated.
- Place on a serving platter, spooning any leftover garlic oil over the top.
- Serve and enjoy!

Karolyn, these wings are incredible. Salty, peppery, crispy, and all finished with that light golden garlic sesame coating! YUM YUM! My husband said these tasted very close to his favourite Salt and Pepper Shrimp from a Chinese restaurant he visits when he travels to Montreal. (Obviously they don’t taste like shrimp LOL but the salt, pepper, garlic, green onion, sesame flavours just sing so nicely together) Will, for sure, be making these again.
I baked mine at 385 on convection bake, so that I could line my tray with parchment paper for quick, easy clean-up. I turned them a few times to get them golden and crisp on all sides and I did have to increase my cook time to approx 40 mins in total because I lowered the baking temperature. Wings still turned out beautifully crispy! We called them Broasted! Ha ha Thanks again for a fabulous recipe!

This recipe is worth it.

Ugh, having to scroll through a bunch of useless garbage writing and adverts. We get it, you fancy yourself as a burgeoning novelist. Just post the recipe, I don’t need to hear about how your annoying kids went to scouts.

Don’t visit a food blog if you’re not interested in the blog part. There are hundreds of cookbooks you’re welcome to purchase. Or visit a recipe site. This. Is. A. Blog.
The end.

Karlynn, thank you so much for this awesome wing recipe!! I’ve made them 4 times now and my SO and his son just love them – as do I!
Sorry for the negative comments others feel necessary to make about the long scroll- sure it’s not ideal but hey, the recipe is worth it and ummm, scrolling the web for anything is just what happens ppl!!!
Samanyaa says
Being an Asian I wud recommend u ppl to drizzle some fresh lime juice on top of the wings which gives more flavor to whole recipe…lemon and pepper combination is a fail proof hit all the time. Do try it n enjoy.
Natasha b says
Sorry is it 3 pound in weight or money with regards to the chicken?
Can’t wait to try these for the first time tomorrow!!!
Angie says
Best and easiest recipe ever! I found it a couple weeks ago and I’ve made it 4 times now! Not one left on the plate. I used air chilled wings and I think that helps with them coming out crispy. Thanks!
Mary says
Amazing!!! Quick. Easy. Delicious.
Jam says
My husband said this is by far the best chicken wings he ever tasted!

Rachelle says
These are by far the best wings, I would give this recipe more stars if I could! My husband loves wings and he said this was by far his favorite recipe.
Pat says
Just wondering how these woud be made the day before they are served and just reheated.
Angelina says
Hoky cow! I mean, chicken! This was soooooo good I wish I made a bigger batch. My husband loved it too. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Linda says
This recipe is fantastic. I made a double batch for a special birthday celebration last night. It was a major crowd pleaser (no jalepeno’s used).
I do have a question. What kind of oil do you generally recommend with the 450 degree baking temp? I used Avocado oil because it has a high smoking point, but was curious what you use because it is not noted in the recipe.
Great job!
Anika says
These wings are delicious and my family loves them but I follow this recipe to the letter and it always takes way longer than 20 and my chicken always gets stuck on the foil thus ripping off some of the yummy chicken ☹
gaynor harrison says
WOW! made this tonight. Didn’t change anything. Fab-u-larse !!
Tiff's Twisted Kitchen says
I’ve made a lot of Salt & Pepper wings over the years, that were fried and coated in flour/cornstarch. Look forward to trying a cleaner method. QUESTION: Do you use fresh wing/drumettes from the meat counter or Frozen?
Karlynn Johnston says
I have used both! Simply defrost the wings first!
Jody says
Perfect recipe for a quick, delicious dinner! Wow, I couldn’t believe how easy and delicious these were – with such simple ingredients, baked and not deep-fried! My 3 (fussy) kids devoured them.
angela hammill says
my hubby raves about these !!! they are fantastic
AutumnArchambeaultCrupe says
Do you use just plain, frozen uncooked wings for this and bake them from frozen?
Francoise Vouriot says
Made these several times. They are wonderful!
Sheryl L McDonald says
I still have to try these. I want to try your salt and pepper ribs too!
Sheryl L McDonald says
I did make your bbq rib recipe. PERFECT! i love the bbq sauce/water bath. Definitely infuses the flavor right in. Best ribs i’ve ever made!

HeatherGriffin1 says
No lie. best. ever. Thank you so much. My husband would make this dry rub with about 17 herbs and spices, it would take forever and THESE ARE BETTER. He’s a bit miffed, but it’s worth it 😉 lol
