Wings typically take around 40-45 minutes to cook at 400°F (200°C). Preheat your oven to the desired temperature before placing the wings inside. Ensure they are spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow even cooking. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are crispy on all sides. Use a meat thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
