Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack with nonstick cooking spray or a thin coat of oil.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them crisp up in the oven.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture and oil.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching each other to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn each wing over, and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
