  • 2 tablespoons paprika (plus more as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano (plus more as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil (plus more as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (plus more as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder (plus more as needed)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or turkey broth)

    turkey wings step 1
  • In small bowl, mix together salt, paprika, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and onion powder, until spices are thoroughly incorporated. Sprinkle spice mixture over turkey wings, then lightly massage spice mixture into skin of wings. Flip wings and repeat until all sides have been seasoned, mixing up additional spices when necessary.
    turkey wings step 2
  • Pour chicken broth into baking dish, being careful not to pour broth directly on top of wings, so as not to rinse off any spices. Cover baking dish securely with aluminum foil, then place dish in preheated oven. Bake turkey wings 1 ½ hours, then remove dish from oven.
  • Remove foil and discard, then return dish to oven and bake wings uncovered 15 to 20 minutes. When wings are fully cooked and skins are crispy, remove baking dish from oven and serve wings with desired sides.

Recipe Notes

  • This method will also work for turkey legs and chicken legs.
  • For really crispy skin, when you take the baking dish out of the oven and remove the foil, transfer the turkey wings to a baking sheet fitted with a wire baking rack, then return the wings to the oven to bake uncovered 15-20 minutes. The heat in the oven will be able to circulate around the wings on the baking rack, giving them a crispier skin.
  • Be sure to cook the wings to a food-safe temperature of 165° Fahrenheit. Use an internal meat thermometer to ensure the wings are fully cooked before serving.
