The following ingredients and tools are what you'll need. Note that the full recipe card is at the bottom of the page, along with the exact measurements and complete nutritional facts.
- Chicken wings: I like using party wings since they come already separated, which saves time and makes prep easier.
- Sea salt: Brings out the flavor of the wings and helps remove excess moisture so the skin crisps up nicely.
- Black pepper: Adds a subtle heat that balances the richness of the wings.
- Garlic powder: Adds savory boost to the wings.
- Melted unsalted butter: Helps the seasonings coat the wings evenly while also encouraging a crisp finish as they bake. You can swap it with ghee if preferred.
- Grated parmesan cheese (garnish):Adds a salty, slightly nutty finish and clings well to the wings for extra flavor in every bite.
How To Get Crispy Oven-Baked Carnivore Wings

Start by preheating your oven and preparing your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
The key to achieving crispy wings without frying is to make sure the chicken wings are completely dry before seasoning. Use paper towels to pat them dry thoroughly, as removing excess moisture helps them crisp beautifully in the oven.
In a large bowl, combine the wings with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and melted butter. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated and well seasoned.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on your prepared baking sheets, making sure they are not overcrowded. This step is important because spacing allows hot air to circulate properly, giving you that golden, crispy finish.
Bake the wings until they are fully cooked, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning on both sides. Once they are done, they should be crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Finish by sprinkling grated parmesan cheese over the hot wings before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Air Fryer Instructions

If you prefer to use an air fryer, start by preheating it. Prepare and season the wings the same way as you would for baking.
Would you like to save this?
Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook in batches if needed. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp evenly.
Once done, garnish with parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, reheat them in the oven on a parchment-lined baking sheet until they are heated through and crispy once more.
Avoid using the microwave if possible, as it can make the wings soft instead of crispy.
Recipe Tips For Best Results
- Always pat the wings dry before seasoning
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or air fryer basket
- Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness
- Serve immediately for the best texture
- This recipe can easily be doubled for larger gatherings
