Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

• 2 lbs chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats)

• 1 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda – this helps crisp them up!)

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

👉 Sprinkle tenders with baking powder and massage into chicken. Set aside for 10 minutes.

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack sprayed with no stick cooking spray (for better airflow).

2️⃣ Prep the Wings

• Pat the wings completely dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up!

• In a bowl, toss wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

• Lightly coat with 1 tbsp oil.

3️⃣ Bake

• Arrange wings in a single layer skin side up on the baking sheet.

• Bake for 35-45 minutes until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees

4️⃣ Toss in one of my Sauces & Serve.

Extra Tips for Crispy Wings

✔️ Baking powder is key! It helps remove moisture and makes baked wings extra crispy.
✔️ Don’t overcrowd the pan or baking sheet – wings need space to crisp up.
