Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup your favorite wing sauce
- 1 optional olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top to allow for even air circulation during baking.
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a dry rub.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the dry rub.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not touching. For extra crispy wings, lightly spray them with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large clean bowl.
Pour your favorite wing sauce over the wings and toss until well coated. For extra crispy wings, serve the sauce on the side for dipping instead.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
