Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 0.5 cup hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top to allow even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create the seasoning mixture.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps with crisping.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat evenly, ensuring all wings are covered with the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Ensure they are not touching to allow proper air circulation during baking.
Lightly spray the wings with olive oil spray to help them crisp up nicely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness, then increase the temperature to 450°F (230°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
If using hot sauce, in a small saucepan, mix together the hot sauce and honey. Heat on low until the mixture is well combined.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before tossing them in the hot sauce and honey mixture, if desired.
Serve the wings hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
