Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings split at the joint and tips removed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step for achieving crispy skin.
- In a large bowl, combine the dried chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure each wing is evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows for better air circulation and crisping.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. The exact time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the wings.
- Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Toss with your favorite wing sauce if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder or paprika to the seasoning mix. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
