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!

I cannot believe how authentic these wings taste! I’ve spent a small fortune on S&P Chicken Wings from our local Chinese so to be able to make these wings as good as (Or forgive me for boasting, but better than!) the takeaway is mind blowing to me!

My husband and I loved this recipe. However my son did not. Do you have any kid friendly food recipes?
thekitchenmagpie says
1DragonObserves My trick is to cook part of the meal plain for my picky eater. Most kids will eat plain chicken wings roasted, no problem. Making pasta? Leave aside some plain for them to have with butter. Eventually they will start eating the same as you, but for now, it’s best to eat what you like and leave a portion plain, unsauced, etc for them!
Ethel MacDonald says
I have all ingredients except the wings of course. I will let you know how it goes 🙂
Ethel MacDonald says
Bookmarked this! The best salt and pepper wings I ever had were at a scottish pub in Edmonton (I forget the name) when I used to live there. The waitresses wore kilts (rather shorts ones….). I will have to give these a go.
Sarah [NurseLovesFarmer.com] says
These were SO great, thanks! I thought I would maximize my salt & pepper so I just tossed them in a bowl….but I will follow the instructions as is next time because they were AWESOME but definitely too seasoned, just going to sprinkle instead of toss. Thanks!
Karlynn Johnston says
I’m so glad that you liked them! And yes, the sprinkle part works the best. It just gets them enough for taste!
PatBerrigan says
@Karlynn Johnston I make my own organic lemon pepper seasoning (no salt) and want to try this recipe with my seasoning!
