Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, baking powder, and cornstarch.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which will help them crisp up.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the seasoning mix. Toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Drizzle the wings with the neutral oil and toss again to distribute evenly.
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they do not touch or overlap.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the garnish by slicing the green onions and optional red chili if using.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a serving platter and sprinkle with sliced green onions and red chili.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wings for added freshness and zest.
