Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp aluminum -free baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place a wire cooling rack inside the baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate under the wings.
  • Pat the chicken wings thoroughly with paper towels until the skin is completely dry.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Add the wings to the bowl and toss vigorously until each piece is evenly coated with the powder mixture.
  • Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching for optimal airflow.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving or tossing in sauce.
