Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings Recipe
Description
This recipe involves tossing raw chicken wings in olive oil, baking powder to achieve crispness, and seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for a balanced savory flavor. Placing the wings on a wire rack ensures even air circulation around the wings, promoting a crisp exterior without frying.
Baking at 425°F for about 45 minutes cooks the wings thoroughly and produces a golden-brown crust. The garlic powder adds mild aromatic depth without overpowering the simple salt and pepper seasoning. Topping with minced chives introduces a subtle fresh note and color contrast.
Flipping the wings halfway through is optional; while flipping can crisp the wings more evenly, it is not necessary. These wings work well served as an appetizer, snack, or part of a casual meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- chive for serving, minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy cleanup) and set a wire rack on top.
- Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Spread the chicken wings out on top of the wire rack making sure that none of the chicken wings are touching
- Bake until they're golden and crispy, about 45 minutes. (See notes) Serve the chicken wings with some minced chives over top.
Notes
- Flipping the wings halfway through baking is optional but can yield a more evenly crispy skin.
