Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder secret to crispiness!
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for spice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For Sauce Options:
  • Buffalo: ½ cup hot sauce ¼ cup melted butter, 1 tablespoon honey
  • Garlic Parmesan: ¼ cup melted butter 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • BBQ: ½ cup BBQ sauce 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prep the Wings
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and a wire rack (for crispier wings).
  • Pat the wings completely dry with paper towels. The drier, the crispier!
  • Toss wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne (if using).
  • Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  • Step 2: Bake the Wings
  • Arrange wings on the rack in a single layer, skin-side up.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Step 3: Toss in Sauce And Serve
  • If using sauce, toss the wings in Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan, or BBQ sauce.
  • Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing and enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra crispy? Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
  • Want a dry rub? Skip the sauce and sprinkle with extra seasoning before serving.
  • Air fryer method? Cook at 400°F for 25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
