Old Bay Chicken baked in the oven taste like the fried restaurant version but are a great one sheet pan and no mess dinner for any night of the week. They make amazing leftovers and are the MVP of any game day.
After living in Baltimore (home of all things crab and old bay) I became obsessed with old bay chicken wings and needed an at home recipe!

Tips for making the best old bay chicken wings:

What do you serve with old bay chicken drumsticks?
On a wing night, I like to keep it simple with the drumsticks as a main protein, the carrots and celery as a vegetable, and then roasted potatoes on the side!
If you wanted to serve roasted potatoes with the wings you could add another sheet pan of diced potatoes to cook while the wings are cooking.
Left overs:
If you want to use the meat on the drumsticks as shredded chicken, pull the meat off the bones while still warm before putting in the fridge.
The drumsticks last about 4 days in the fridge.
What are your favorite sheet pan dinners? I love to make these beef crispy tacos (30 minute dinner!) for another easy week night dinner.
I hope you are Over the Spoon for this recipe!
