Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Step 2
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they are as moisture-free as possible.
Step 3
Add baking powder, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl with the chicken wings.
Step 4
Toss the wings thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the dry mixture.
Step 5
Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss again to coat evenly.
Step 6
Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring that none are touching each other to allow for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 8
After 20 minutes, flip the wings and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
