Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons optional hot sauce
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 to ensure even cooking.
Using paper towels, pat the chicken wings dry to remove excess moisture. This will help them get crispy as they bake.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. If desired, add hot sauce for extra heat.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip each wing using tongs and bake for another 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the wings as is, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
