Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and spray it with cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
- In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Add the dried wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and very crispy.
- Serve your wings immediately with your favorite sauce or dip.
Notes
- Do not substitute baking powder with baking soda, as it will alter the taste.
- Drying the wings thoroughly before seasoning is the key to achieving maximum crispiness.
- For sauced wings, toss them in your preferred sauce after baking, not before.
