Ingredients

Scale

4 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
1 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Sauce of choice (Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan, BBQ, etc.)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika if using.
Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack, skin-side up.
Bake at 250°F for 30 minutes to render fat.
Increase heat to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove from oven, toss in your favorite sauce, and serve immediately.

Notes

Always use baking powder, not baking soda.

For extra crispiness, dry wings overnight in the fridge uncovered.

Sauces should be added after baking for best results.
