Ingredients

• 24 pieces chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 as needed olive oil spray
• 0.5 cup hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top to allow even cooking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create the seasoning mixture.

Step 3

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps with crisping.

Step 4

Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat evenly, ensuring all wings are covered with the seasoning.

Step 5

Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Ensure they are not touching to allow proper air circulation during baking.

Step 6

Lightly spray the wings with olive oil spray to help them crisp up nicely.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness, then increase the temperature to 450°F (230°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

If using hot sauce, in a small saucepan, mix together the hot sauce and honey. Heat on low until the mixture is well combined.

Step 9

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before tossing them in the hot sauce and honey mixture, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the wings hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
