When making crispy oven-roasted Turkey wings, it’s all about the dry rub. The spice blend is your source of flavor since this is a recipe that doesn’t rely on any marinade sauce, so be sure to be generous. Also, the crispy skin relies on the oil, so don’t skip it.
How long does it take to bake turkey wings?
These turkey wings take about one hour to bake. It’s good to flip them halfway through cooking time to allow even crispness.
Don’t bake them for less than one hour; yes, it takes a little while but this long time will allow the fat to render out from the turkey wings so that the skin crisps to a delicious golden brown. Not to worry, this is totally hands-off time, so you can go about your day until the oven timer goes off.
How To Roast Turkey Wings in the Oven
Wondering how to make the best crispy baked crispy turkey wings? Here’s what you’ll need to:
- First, separate the Turkey wings into three pieces, the drumette (the meatier part), the wingette (the middle part), and the wingtip.
Note: I don’t discard the wingtip; I also bake them but bear in mind that they cook faster than the other turkey part.
- Next, use a paper towel and dry the wings as much as possible to remove any excess moisture. This is an important step to achieving a maximum crisp.
- Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper or foil over a baking sheet and place an oven-safe rack over it. Arrange the wings on the rack, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Bake at 400 degrees F. for 30 minutes, then flip over and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
I like to serve these crispy and delicious wings with a side of
- potato salad
- mashed potatoes with gravy
- Rice
- vegetable salad

The 400 degree temp and the oil on the wings caused my house to smoke up. The wings themselves looked great but the smoke in the house was a bit much. Any recommendations to minimize the smoke? Maybe foil instead of parchment paper? Lower cooking temp? Thoughts?
