Scale
Chicken Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Other:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce or preferred wing sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top and lightly grease it.
- Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again.
- Bake the wings: Arrange the wings on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Toss with sauce: Transfer the wings to a bowl, toss with buffalo sauce, and serve hot with dressing.
Notes
- Drying the wings well and using baking powder are key to crispiness without frying.
- Experiment with different sauces like BBQ or honey garlic for varied flavors.
