Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken wings halved at joints, wingtips discarded
- 2 tablespoons baking powder aluminum-free
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Hot sauce for tossing optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position.
- Line a baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top, and spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken wings with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry for optimal crispiness.
- In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the wings skin-side up in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
- Bake the wings for 40 minutes, turning them after 20 minutes, until they are crisp and browned.
- Let the wings rest for 5 minutes after baking, then toss them in hot sauce if desired before serving.
