Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 1 kg chicken wings
Seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp baking powder (not baking soda)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Optional
- 2 tbsp hot sauce or honey (optional, for tossing before serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking the wings to crispy perfection.
- Dry Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove moisture, which helps them get crispy in the oven.
- Season Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. The baking powder helps create an extra crispy skin.
- Arrange Wings: Lay the wings out in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a wire rack to allow air circulation.
- Bake: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp evenly on both sides.
- Add Sauce (Optional): Once baked and crispy, toss the wings in hot sauce or honey if desired before serving to add extra flavor and moisture.
Notes
- Using baking powder (not baking soda) is key for crispy skin without altering flavor.
- Patting the wings dry removes excess moisture for better crisping.
- Flip halfway during baking to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Adjust seasoning amounts based on your taste preferences.
- Serve immediately for best texture.
