Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken wings halved at joints, wingtips discarded
  • 2 Tablespoons baking powder *aluminum free
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracker black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Adjust your oven rack to the upper-middle position. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack (I use a cooling rack) on top. Spray the rack with non-stick spray.
  • Use paper towels to pat the wings dry and place them in a large bowl. It's important to dry them REALLY well!
  • Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder in a small bowl. Then sprinkle the seasoning over the wings, tossing to evenly coat.
  • Arrange wings, skin side up, in single layer on prepared wire rack.
  • Bake on the upper middle oven rack, turning every 20 minutes until wings are crispy and browned. The total cook time will be approximately 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
