Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 pounds chicken wings (flats and drumettes, not whole wings)
  • Optional: sauces like buffalo, BBQ, garlic parmesan, or ranch for tossing or dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F and place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Spray the rack with cooking spray.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels until they're as dry as possible.
  3. In a large zip-top bag, combine the baking powder and salt. Add the wings and shake until well coated.
  4. Place wings skin-side up on the prepared rack. Bake for 30 minutes at 250°F on the lower-middle oven rack.
  5. After 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Move the wings to the upper-middle rack and bake for 40-50 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through baking.
  6. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, and toss in your favorite sauce or serve plain with dip.

Notes

Be sure to use baking powder, not baking soda. Drying the wings thoroughly ensures crispiness. Serve with celery and your favorite dipping sauces.
