Equipment

1 baking sheet lined with foil
1 wire rack to fit over baking sheet
1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

2 lbs chicken wings
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chicken wing seasoning

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
In a mixing bowl, combine baking powder, salt, pepper, and chicken wing seasoning. Toss the wings in this mixture until well coated.

Cooking

Place the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Serving

Once crispy and golden brown, remove from the oven. Let rest for a few minutes before serving with your choice of dipping sauces.

Storage

Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure wings are dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness. Use a wire rack to elevate wings and allow heat to circulate evenly.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can use garlic powder or onion powder for added flavor.
How to Serve: Serve with fresh veggies like celery and carrots for a balanced snack.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Season wings in advance and refrigerate for up to 12 hours before baking.
