Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint and tips removed

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to allow air circulation around the wings for crispiness.
  2. Dry the wings: In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels. Ensuring the skin is dry is key to achieving a crispy texture.
  3. Coat with olive oil: Add the olive oil to the wings and toss them to coat evenly, which helps the seasoning stick and promotes crisping.
  4. Prepare the spice mix: In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and baking powder until well combined.
  5. Season the wings: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings and toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
  6. Arrange on rack: Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other to promote even cooking and crispiness.
  7. Bake and flip: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip each wing over and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Rest before serving: Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute and the wings to cool slightly.
  9. Garnish and serve: Optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh, zesty flavor complement.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the wings are completely dry before applying oil and seasoning.
  • The baking powder in the seasoning mix helps achieve a crispier skin without frying.
  • You can adjust the seasoning quantities and spices to suit your taste preferences.
  • Use a wire rack to allow even air circulation around the wings for the best texture.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese for added flavor.
