Here is a list of the Best Chicken Wing Recipes. They are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & so yummy. Whether you want wings for game day, a party appetizer, lunch, or dinner - these easy chicken wing recipes are crowd-pleasing.
I share with you different ways to cook wings. How to make wings in the deep-fryer, Instant Pot pressure cooker, or air-fryer; here are my fan favorite wing ideas. I also share great dip & sauces that take them to the next level.
I will say crispy fried skin is my weakness. Most recipes are made in a deep-fryer best for making chicken. They cook up at the right temperature and is easy to follow how long to deep fry chicken wings with my tips & tricks.
Here is some of the fantastic wing ideas that I share with you in this post:
- Healthy (air fryer or Instant Pot)
- Crispy skin either deep fried or finished under the broiler
- Gluten-free & Keto approved recipes without batter/flour/breadcrumbs/coating
- Sauces that are mild, hot, sticky, sweet, or all the above
- Global flavors from Italian garlic butter to Korean spicy gochujang
I have probably cooked 100s of pounds of wings in my day between my personal chef business & my decade tailgating for the Raiders in Oakland. Just know you are in good hands with these recipes that work every time!

THE BEST SIMPLE CRISPY WINGS
Here is my go-to recipe for making most of my wing recipes. It starts out with seasoning the wings & deep frying them.
The skin comes out crunchy without any dredging through flour, breading, or coating. (low-carb, gluten-free, Whole30, Paleo & keto) The meat is juicy & moist on the inside too.
These fall-off-the-bone wings may be plain but they have tons of flavor as is. Or toss them in your favorite BBQ, Buffalo, or wing seasoning for more kick.
If you have never made wings before, this is the best beginner's recipe. A small deep-fryer big enough for a family of four is all you need.
Wings with Sauce
Here are tasty ways to dress up any chicken wings at home. Most use simple ingredients with gourmet restaurant-quality results.
I have put them in order from mild to hot to very hot to help you find what is right for you. Enjoy!
Serving, Dip, & Sauce Ideas
Now that you have some yummy wings, here are some of the best ways to serve them up.
Drizzle them with my Homemade Hot Honey. Or dip saucy hot & spicy buffalo wings into some Cool Creamy Ranch Dressing without Mayo.
These are all great to serve as a meal too with one of my favorite sides to serve with chicken wings. The Deep-Fried Sweet Potato Fries & Slow Cooker Cream Corn go well with chicken wings.
Storing & Reheating Wings
All these wing recipes store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do prefer storing them plain and adding the sauce when I reheat them, but if yours are sauced, it works fine too.
I do not recommend freezing them once cooked and sauced.
To reheat, I do not recommend the microwave - makes they chewy, rubbery, & you lose all that crispiness. My favorite way is in my guide how to reheat chicken wings in the air fryer.
Or you can reheat in the oven or toaster oven at 400°F. Heat until warm in the center - about 165°F internal temperature.
I admit, I like to eat wings cold out of hte fridge too - so go for it, no need to wait while they warm up!
Final Notes & Similar Recipes
