Description
Crispy Baked Chicken Wings are the perfect combination of flavor and crunch, baked in the oven for a healthier yet equally delicious alternative to fried wings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top for even cooking.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional spices like paprika or chili powder.
- Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, leaving space between each one.
- Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once golden and crispy, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure wings are dried thoroughly before seasoning to avoid sogginess.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper airflow and crispiness.
- Use a wire rack to elevate the wings and prevent them from steaming.
- For extra crispiness, increase the oven temperature slightly or broil for a few minutes at the end.
