Description
These crispy baked chicken wings are full of flavor, easy to prepare, and perfect for game days, parties, or weeknight dinners. With a simple dry rub and oven baking method, you’ll get golden, crunchy wings—no deep-frying needed!
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
1 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
Optional: hot sauce, BBQ sauce, or ranch for servin
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack.
Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. Moisture will prevent crispiness.
In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder and all seasonings. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again until evenly coated.
Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer, skin side up.
Bake for 20 minutes, flip, then bake an additional 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Make sure wings are dry before baking for maximum crispiness.
Baking powder (not baking soda) is the key to crisp skin.
For extra heat, toss baked wings in buffalo sauce.
Use convection or fan-forced setting if available for even crisping.
