Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Buffalo sauce (optional)
- BBQ sauce (optional)
- Honey garlic sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack, skin-side up, leaving space between each wing.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are golden brown and crispy.
- Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Remove from oven and toss in your favorite sauce or serve plain with dipping sauces.
Notes
- Drying the wings thoroughly is essential for crispy skin.
- Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid a metallic taste.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper airflow.
- For maximum crispiness, add sauce after baking.
