Crispy Baked Chicken Wings - Master Recipe

Step 1

Heat oven to 250°F with racks in upper, mid and lower positions. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

In a small bowl whisk together the baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder and white pepper.

Step 3

Remove any moisture from chicken wings using a paper towel, patting dry all over.

Step 4

Place chicken wings in a large bowl or zipper lock plastic bag and add the baking powder/spice mixture. Stir to coat or seal bag and shake to coat evenly all over.

Step 5

Lay the chicken wing pieces in a single layer skin side up on a wire rack sprayed with cooking spray (PAM /Oil) in the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake on lower rack for 30 minutes (this slowly renders the fat UNDER the skin). Move wings to upper rack, increasing the temperature to 425°F and bake for 40-45 minutes, rotating sheet pan if necessary for even golden brown crispiness.

Step 7

Remove from oven and rest 5 minutes. Season with your favorite seasoning salt if you like or serve with sauce of choice.
