Chicken Wings Super Crispy in the Oven

Ingredients:

1. 2 lbs (approx. 1 kg) chicken wings, split at joints, tips discarded
2. 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
3. 1 teaspoon salt
4. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
5. 1 teaspoon onion powder
6. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
7. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8. Optional: Cayenne pepper for extra heat

Steps:

Step 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.

Step 2: Dry the Chicken Wings Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps in achieving crispiness during baking.

Step 3: Coat with Baking Powder and Seasonings In a large bowl, toss the dried wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Ensure the wings are evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange on Wire Rack Place the seasoned wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows air to circulate, promoting crispiness.

Step 5: Bake in the Oven Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wings halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

Step 6: Optional Broiling (For Extra Crispiness) For an extra crispy finish, you can turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy! Once baked to perfection, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy the super crispy goodness.

Step 8: Dip and Savor Pair these Super Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Wings with your preferred dipping sauces, whether it's classic buffalo, tangy barbecue, or a zesty ranch. Savor the crunchiness with each delicious bite.
