Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crispy baking.
  2. Prepare the Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to create the seasoning blend.
  3. Coat the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss well until each wing is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture, which helps create a crispy texture when baked.
  4. Arrange Wings for Baking: Place the wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This setup allows for proper air circulation, helping the wings crisp up evenly.
  5. Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden brown and crispy.
  6. Rest and Serve: Once baked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This resting time helps the juices redistribute and the wings to finish crisping before serving.

Notes

  • Using a wire rack elevates the wings and allows air flow to crisp all sides.
  • The baking powder is key to producing a crispy skin without frying.
  • Flip the wings halfway during baking to ensure even crispiness and browning.
  • Make sure to thoroughly coat the wings with the seasoning mixture for best flavor and texture.
  • Let wings rest a few minutes after baking to enhance juiciness.
