Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps ensure they become crispy when baked.
- Season the Wings: Place the wings in a large bowl and toss them evenly with baking powder, salt, and pepper, making sure each wing is coated well for optimal crispiness and flavor.
- Arrange for Baking: Set a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to allow air circulation under the wings. Lay the wings in a single layer on the rack so they cook evenly on all sides.
- Bake the Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the wings for 25 minutes, then carefully flip them over and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Rest and Serve: Let the wings rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute. Optionally, toss the wings in your favorite sauce or serve them plain as a crispy snack.
Notes
- Ensure the baking powder is aluminum-free to avoid any metallic aftertaste.
- Patting wings very dry is key to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Use a wire rack for baking so air circulates all around the wings, preventing sogginess.
- These wings can be served with a variety of dipping sauces such as buffalo, BBQ, or honey mustard.
- Adjust seasoning amounts according to taste preferences.
