Learn the simple technique to make ultra crispy chicken wings in your oven without deep frying. These wings are juicy inside and perfect for game day or any party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes separated)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup your favorite wing sauce (like Buffalo, Honey Garlic, or Ranch seasoning mix)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil. This setup helps air circulate for crispier skin.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is lightly and evenly coated with the baking powder mixture.
  5. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring there is space between each wing. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Flip each wing over. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden brown and very crispy.
  9. Remove the wings from the oven. Immediately toss them in your desired sauce or dry rub until coated.
  10. Serve your extra crispy baked chicken wings right away with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Baking powder reacts with the chicken skin to draw out moisture, creating a shatter-crisp exterior without frying.
  • For the best results, use aluminum-free baking powder.
  • If you prefer a saucier wing, toss them in the sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking or immediately after baking.
  • These wings are excellent served as a crowd pleaser appetizer or a quick weeknight dinner.
