Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Spray the rack lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are coated evenly with the dry mixture.
Arrange the coated chicken wings on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are spaced out so air can circulate around each wing.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip them over using tongs and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and the skin is crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. You can pair them with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is for a flavorful, low-fat treat!
