Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

🔪 Instructions

1. Prep the wings
   • Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels (the drier, the crispier).
   • Place them in a large bowl.
2. Season
   • Mix baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper.
   • Toss wings until evenly coated.
3. Arrange for baking
   • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Place a wire rack on a baking sheet (this lets hot air circulate and makes them extra crispy).
   • Lay wings in a single layer, not touching.
4. Bake
   • Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
5. Finish & serve
   • Toss hot wings in your favorite sauce, or serve them plain with a dipping sauce like ranch or blue cheese.

✨ Tips for the crispiest wings:

• Baking powder raises the skin’s pH and dries it out = crunch!
• For even more crispness, refrigerate seasoned wings uncovered for 30 minutes to overnight before baking.
• If you want them extra golden, broil the last 2–3 minutes.
