Here’s a simple and delicious Baked Chicken Wings recipe that results in crispy, flavorful wings without deep frying.
🍗 Baked Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (about 1 kg) chicken wings
- 1 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for color)
- Optional: hot sauce, BBQ sauce, or honey garlic glaze for tossing after baking
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This helps the heat circulate and makes the wings crispier. - Prepare the Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels — the drier, the crispier. Place them in a large bowl. - Season the Wings
In a small bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle over the wings and toss until evenly coated. - Arrange on Rack
Spread the wings out on the rack in a single layer with a little space between each one. - Bake
Bake for 40–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). - Optional: Toss in Sauce
If using a sauce, toss the baked wings in your choice of hot sauce, BBQ, or honey garlic glaze immediately after baking.
đź“ť Tips:
- Baking powder (not baking soda) is the secret to crispiness. It helps dry out the skin.
- Letting wings air dry in the fridge for a few hours before baking also boosts crispiness.
- You can broil them for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crunch.
