Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Cut the chicken wings into flats and drumettes if they are not already separated. Discard the wing tips.
  3. Use paper towels to pat the wings dry, ensuring they are completely moisture-free for optimal crispiness.
  4. Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle with baking powder and toss until the wings are evenly coated.
  5. Add the Cajun seasoning to the wings and toss again to ensure they are fully coated with the spices.
  6. Arrange the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 24 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
