Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings Recipe
Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings are oven-baked wings coated in olive oil, baking powder, and a mix of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Baking at a high temperature on a wire rack crisps the skin while keeping the meat tender. The wings are garnished with minced chives for a mild onion flavor and a fresh look.
