Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 whole green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine baking powder, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, ensuring they are as dry as possible, and add them to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Pour over the coated wings and toss to ensure even distribution.
Place the coated wings onto the wire rack, skin-side up, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows the heat to circulate and crisp the wings evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip each wing and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately sprinkle with white pepper for an added flavorful finish.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for a fresh and zesty touch.
Serve the wings hot and enjoy them as a low-sodium appetizer or main dish.
