Description
These crispy baked chicken wings are the perfect balance of tenderness and crunch, enhanced with your favorite seasonings or sauces for an irresistible flavor explosion in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of chicken wings, rinsed and dried
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: sauce of choice (Buffalo, BBQ, or Garlic Parmesan)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you have a wire rack, place that on top of the baking sheet; if not, the parchment will suffice.
- Prepare the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Season: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Arrange: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping the wings halfway through for even cooking.
- Crisp: If you desire extra crispiness, broil for an additional 3-5 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Sauce Them Up: Toss the wings in your favorite sauce or serve them plain with dipping sauces on the side.
Notes
Tips
- For the crispiest wings, ensure they are thoroughly dried before seasoning.
- Experiment with different seasonings to create your unique flavor profile.
- If you want to prepare a large batch, consider doubling your dry and spice ingredients while sticking to the same cooking times.
Disclaimer
Ensure that chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before consumption. Always follow safe food-handling practices.
