Description
Achieve restaurant-quality crispy chicken wings right in your own oven. This simple method uses baking powder and a dual-temperature roasting technique to ensure golden, crunchy skin and juicy meat without the need for deep frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step: Preheat your oven to 250°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, then place a wire rack on top.
- Step: Pat each wing dry thoroughly with paper towels until the skin feels tacky.
- Step: Place the wings in a large bowl and toss with the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Step: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack and bake at 250°F for 30 minutes.
- Step: Increase the oven temperature to 425°F and continue baking for 40–45 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp.
- Step: Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Always use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any metallic aftertaste. Ensure the wings are spaced out on the rack to allow proper airflow for maximum crispiness.
