Description

These baked chicken wings are perfectly crispy and flavorful, made without frying for a healthier twist on a classic game day favorite. Tossed in a mix of baking powder and spices, then baked to golden perfection, they offer a delicious balance of savory spices and irresistible crunch. Customize with your choice of buffalo, BBQ, or honey garlic sauce for an added burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes

Dry Rub

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Optional Sauce

  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, or honey garlic sauce for tossing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the wings to a crispy finish.
  2. Prepare Wings: Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels to ensure they crisp up properly during baking. This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture.
  3. Mix Coating: In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until each piece is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  4. Arrange Wings: Place the coated wings in a single layer on a wire rack that is set over a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. This setup allows air to circulate around the wings for even cooking.
  5. Bake Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. This ensures both sides become golden brown and crispy.
  6. Add Sauce (Optional): If you prefer sauced wings, remove the wings from the oven once cooked and immediately toss them in your choice of buffalo, BBQ, or honey garlic sauce to coat evenly.
  7. Serve: Serve the wings hot, paired with your favorite dips such as ranch or blue cheese, and celery sticks for a classic presentation.

Notes

  • Baking powder is key to achieving extra crispy skin—be sure to use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any off-flavors.
  • Avoid using baking soda as it can impart a bitter taste to the wings.
  • Pair these wings with ranch or blue cheese dip and celery sticks for an authentic game day experience.
