Ingredients
  

  • 1.8 kg chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small bowl for seasoning
  • Baking sheet
  • Cooling rack
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and baking powder.
  3. Sprinkle the spice blend over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and set a cooling rack on a lined baking sheet, spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack, skin-side up.
  6. Bake the wings for about 1 hour, flipping every 20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should be 82°C/180°F).
  7. Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. Toss in your favorite sauce or serve plain with dips.

Notes

Always start with dry wings for optimal crispiness. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika is a fine substitute. For extra flavor, consider adding cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. To reheat leftover wings, place them in the oven instead of the microwave for maximum crispiness. Feel free to experiment with different dipping sauces like BBQ or hot sauce after baking.
