Ingredients
Scale
3 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Optional: Your favorite wing sauce for tossing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows for maximum crispiness.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, then flip the wings.
Continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
If desired, toss the hot wings in your favorite wing sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
Using baking powder helps to draw out moisture from the skin, resulting in crispier wings.
For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
These wings are a great alternative to meal planning for busy weeknights.
