Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 pounds chicken wings (party pack recommended)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

For the Rub:

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (This is the secret to extra crispy skin!)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Dipping Sauces:

  • Ranch, BBQ, Blue Cheese, or your favorite wing sauce.

Optional Additions:

  • Replace the smoked paprika with regular paprika for a milder flavor.
  • For a low-sodium option, reduce the sea salt by half.
  • Use almond flour in place of baking powder for a gluten-free option.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Place a baking rack on top of the foil. Set aside.

Step 2: Season the Chicken Wings

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients: baking powder, sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and onion powder.
  3. Place the wings in a resealable plastic bag or a large bowl.
  4. Add the olive oil and toss the wings to coat evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the rub mixture over the wings, then shake or mix until all wings are evenly coated.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

  1. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the baking rack.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings.
  4. Continue baking for another 20-30 minutes until the wings are crispy and cooked through.

Equipment

Notes

  • For even cooking: Use a baking rack to ensure air circulates around each wing.
  • Avoid overcrowding: Make sure the wings aren’t touching each other, or they’ll steam instead of crisp.
  • Add a kick: Toss in a teaspoon of cayenne pepper for spicy wings.
