Make ultra crispy chicken wings in your oven without deep frying. This simple baking powder technique gives you perfectly crunchy skin and juicy meat, ideal for game day or a quick dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce (or your favorite sauce, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). 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 dry 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 25 minutes.
  7. Flip the wings over. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden brown and crisp.
  8. Remove the wings from the oven. If you are saucing them, place the hot wings in a clean bowl and toss immediately with your desired sauce, like Buffalo or Honey Garlic.
  9. Serve immediately as a party appetizer or weeknight meal.

Notes

  • For the crispiest results, do not skip drying the wings thoroughly before coating them.
  • If you prefer Lemon Pepper flavor, skip the sauce step and toss the hot wings with a dry lemon pepper seasoning mix after baking.
  • For a final crisping boost, you can briefly broil the wings for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching them closely to prevent burning.
