Ingredients
- 4 lbs chicken wings (See Note 1)
- 5 tsp baking powder (NOT BAKING SODA and make sure it's aluminum free baking powder)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp white pepper (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat oven to 250°F with racks in upper, mid and lower positions. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl whisk together the aluminum free baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder and white pepper.
- Remove any moisture from chicken wings using a paper towel, patting dry all over.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from oven and rest 5 minutes. Season with your favorite seasoning salt if you like or serve with sauce of choice.
Notes
- If wings are already cut with tips removed (not whole) then use 3.5 pounds. Otherwise buy 4 pounds, remove tips and discard or save for chicken stock. Then using a sharp kitchen knife, split the wing into the drumstick and flat portions. I typically estimate needing a pound of wings per person (taking into account the bone weight).
- Optional: For extra crispy wings, follow steps 2-5, then refrigerate overnight, uncovered. The next day, allow chicken pieces to come to room temperature. then follow the remaining steps.
