Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they are as moisture-free as possible.
Add baking powder, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl with the chicken wings.
Toss the wings thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the dry mixture.
Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss again to coat evenly.
Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring that none are touching each other to allow for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the wings and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
