INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lbs  chicken wings separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup sauce for serving buffalo, honey garlic, barbecue, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Prepare the Wings — Blot the chicken wings dry with paper towels to soak up excess moisture, which allows them to crisp in the oven.
  • Season the Wings – In a bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, baking powder and just enough olive oil to coat lightly.
  • Setup for Baking — Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet so air can flow around them for even crisping.
  • Bake to Perfection – Bake for 45–50 minutes at 425°F (220°C), flipping halfway, until beautifully golden and crispy.
  • Toss in Sauce & Serve — Combine the hot, crispy wings with your favorite sauce, then serve immediately with dips such as ranch or blue cheese. Enjoy!

NOTES

  • Pat the wings dry — Drying them off helps them get extra crispy skin.
  • Use baking powder, not baking soda — Baking powder helps crisp up the skin, but the baking soda can impart a bitter taste.
  • Bake on a wire rack — Raising the wings lets the heat circulate and the wings cook evenly and crisply.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — Giving the wings space lets them avoid steaming and helps them crisp up nicely.
  • Check for doneness — The wings are done when a thermometer in the thickest part reads at least 165°F (74°C).
  • Storing — Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, or freeze cooled, unsauced wings for up to 3 months. Reheat at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, then toss in sauce.
