Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper for heat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again to coat evenly.
- Bake the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip each wing and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, refrigerate the seasoned wings uncovered for a few hours or overnight before baking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or blue cheese, or toss them in buffalo or BBQ sauce after baking.
