Description
Deliciously crispy baked chicken wings that are flavorful and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb chicken wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top to allow air to circulate, ensuring crispy wings.
- Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the chicken wings. This step is key for achieving that desired crunchy texture!
- In a large bowl, drizzle the wings with olive oil. Toss them until every piece is evenly coated in that rich, golden goodness.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. For spice lovers, add cayenne pepper.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings and toss again to ensure each wing is generously coated in that flavorful blend.
- Lay the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they aren’t touching. This helps them crisp up beautifully.
- Bake the wings for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You want them to look golden brown and hear that satisfying sizzling sound.
- After baking, let the wings rest for about 5 minutes to lock in all those juicy flavors before diving in.
Notes
- Make sure to use aluminum-free baking powder for the best results.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper according to your heat preference.
