Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

Description:
These chicken wings are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and baked to perfection. You won’t believe these are baked, not fried!

Servings:

This recipe makes 4 servings (about 16 wings).

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda!)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1/4 cup your favorite wing sauce or BBQ sauce (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Prepare wings:
    Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispiness!
  3. Season:
    In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Bake:
    Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Optional sauce:
    If desired, toss the baked wings in your favorite sauce before serving, or serve with the sauce on the side.
  6. Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley or green onions, and enjoy!
