Coated in a light flour and baking powder mixture, then baked at high heat, these wings come out golden and crispy.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 1½ pounds chicken wings (split and tips removed, about 18 wings)

Dry Coating

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Pat Dry Wings: Use a paper towel to thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry. Removing moisture helps achieve crispiness when baking.
  2. Prepare Baking Rack and Pan: Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Coat Wings with Dry Mix: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Toss the wings in this dry mixture until evenly coated. Arrange wings on the prepared rack and refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes up to 4 hours. This resting step helps dry the wings further for crispiness.
  4. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it hot and ready for baking.
  5. Oil the Wings: Remove wings from fridge and toss with olive oil in a bowl, making sure the flour coating is evenly moistened without any dry spots. Place wings back onto the baking rack.
  6. Bake Wings: Bake wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip each wing and bake for an additional 15 minutes. If the wings start to smoke, replace the foil on the pan to prevent burning. Continue cooking until the wings are crisp. For extra crispiness, broil each side for 1 minute if desired.
  7. Serve: Toss the crispy baked wings in your favorite sauce or serve alongside dips for a delicious meal or snack.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the wings uncovered before baking helps dry out the skin for maximum crispiness.
  • Use a wire rack to allow air to circulate around the wings, preventing sogginess underneath.
  • Baking powder creates a bubbly texture on the skin that crisps up nicely in the oven.
  • Keep an eye while broiling to avoid burning the wings.
  • Feel free to customize with different sauces from buffalo to BBQ for variety.
