    Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

    These crispy baked chicken wings are perfectly seasoned, juicy, and extra crispy without any frying. Serve them as is or toss with your favorite wing sauce!
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 45 minutes
    Total Time: 1 hour
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 lbs chicken wings
    • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp pepper
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp onion powder

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a slipmat or aluminum foil. Top with a wire rack, set aside.
    • Dab the chicken wings off with a paper towel to ensure they are completely dry.
    • Add the chicken wings to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Toss to coat the chicken wings in the seasonings.
      Place the chicken wings onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken wings)
    • Turn the chicken wings every 20 minutes to ensure they get crispy on both sides.
    • Serve the chicken wings as is with ranch dressing or blue cheese for dipping.
      You could also toss these with your favorite wings sauce or my Honey Chipotle Sauce!

    Notes

    • Dry them well. Pat the wings very dry with paper towels. Less moisture means crispier skin.
    • Don’t skip the baking powder. This is the secret to getting that crispy, golden skin without frying. Be sure to use baking powder, not baking soda.
    • Use a wire rack. Elevating the wings allows hot air to circulate around them so they crisp on all sides.
    • Give them space. Arrange the wings in a single layer without touching. Overcrowding can cause them to steam.
    • Flip as they bake. Turn the wings about every 20 minutes so both sides get nice and crisp.
    • Add sauce last. For the crispiest results, wait until the wings are fully baked before tossing them with your favorite sauce.
