Baked Chicken Wings
Baked Chicken Wings seasoned with a dry rub containing baking powder and spices become crispy without frying. The wings are coated with oil and the rub then baked on a rack to promote even crisping. This method yields wings with a dry, lightly crisp texture and a balanced seasoning. Serving with dipping sauces like ranch or BBQ is common.
