Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Your favorite wing sauce (for tossing, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other.

- Remove from the oven and toss with your favorite wing sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, make sure to pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- Using a wire rack allows for air circulation around the wings, resulting in a crispier texture.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste or add additional spices.
