A simple recipe for making very crispy chicken wings in the oven without deep frying, using baking powder for texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the powder mixture.
  5. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring there is space between each wing for air circulation.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Flip each wing over.
  8. Continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and very crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your preferred sauce or dry rub.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toss the hot, crispy wings in your favorite sauce (like Honey Garlic or Buffalo) immediately after removing them from the oven.
  • If you have an instant-read thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • If you use an air fryer, cook at 380 degrees Fahrenheit (195 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
