A comprehensive guide to reheating chicken wings in the oven while maintaining their crispy exterior and juicy interior. This method works for both sauce-coated and dry-rubbed wings.
Instructions
Step 1: Preparation
- Remove wings from refrigerator 15-20 minutes before reheating
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper
- Place wire rack on baking sheet if available
Step 2: Arranging Wings
- Place wings on the wire rack or directly on the lined baking sheet
- Ensure wings aren’t touching each other
- If wings are sauce-coated, brush with a small amount of additional sauce if desired
Step 3: Reheating
- Place wings in preheated oven
- Heat for 10-12 minutes
- Flip wings over
- Continue heating for 5-8 minutes until crispy and heated through
- Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C)
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet
