Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Toss with Baking Powder and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat each wing.
- Arrange on Baking Rack: Place a wire rack over a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment for easy cleanup. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack to allow air circulation around the wings.
- Bake the Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the wings for 45 to 50 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest briefly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
Notes
- Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any metallic taste.
- Patting wings dry is key for crispiness.
- Serve with ranch, blue cheese, or spicy buffalo sauce as dipping options.
- Ensure the wings are evenly spaced for best results.
