Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings fresh or thawed
  • 1 tbsp baking powder not baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika or your favorite seasoning
  • 1 –2 tbsp olive oil or any neutral oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oil until evenly coated.
  • Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer, leaving space between them.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crunch.
  • Toss with your favorite sauce or serve plain with dipping sauces.

Notes

For frozen wings: thaw completely and pat dry before seasoning.
No wire rack? Bake directly on parchment paper and flip halfway.
Reheat leftovers in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes to keep them crispy.
