Baked Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe begins by preheating the oven to 400°F. Chicken wings are dried and tossed with neutral cooking oil, then coated in a cornstarch seasoning blend that includes smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper, and salt. The cornstarch helps create a crispy texture as the wings bake.
The wings are placed on wire racks atop a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow air circulation and even baking. They bake for 30 minutes, then are flipped and cooked for an additional 20-25 minutes until the desired browning and crispiness are reached. The spice mix gives an aromatic, mildly spicy flavor with a bit of smokiness.
These wings can be served with sauces or by themselves as a snack or appetizer. Baking avoids oil splatter and cleanup compared to frying while still achieving crisp skin and juicy meat inside.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, pepper, and salt.

- Bake the wings for 30 minutes, then flip and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the wings have achieved the amount of browning desired (this will depend on the size of your wings).
- Serve hot with your favorite sauce!
