Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons optional hot sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Using paper towels, pat the chicken wings dry to remove excess moisture. This will help them get crispy as they bake.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. If desired, add hot sauce for extra heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 6
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip each wing using tongs and bake for another 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the wings as is, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
