Ingredients

Scale

Serves 4-6:

  • For the wings:
    • 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
    • 2 tablespoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For serving:
    • Your favorite wing sauce (e.g., buffalo, BBQ, garlic Parmesan)
    • Ranch or blue cheese dressing
    • Fresh celery and carrot sticks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray.
  • Prepare the wings:
    • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. The drier the wings, the crispier they’ll bake.
  • Coat the wings:
    • In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
  • Arrange on the rack:
    • Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they aren’t touching.
  • Bake the wings:
    • Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Toss with sauce (optional):
    • If desired, toss the wings in your favorite sauce just before serving. Alternatively, serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Serve:
    • Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Pair with ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery, and carrot sticks.

Notes

  • Baking powder (not baking soda) is key to achieving crispy skin in the oven. Be sure to use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any bitter taste.
  • For extra-crispy wings, let them air-dry on a rack in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before baking.
  • Leftover wings can be reheated in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
