Description
Enjoy perfectly crispy chicken wings baked in the oven without any frying. These wings are seasoned, baked on a wire rack for maximum crispiness, and tossed in a flavorful sauce for a delicious snack or meal.
Ingredients
2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings separated at the joint
1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and lightly spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better crisping.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss well to coat all wings evenly with the baking powder and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not touching.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce and honey until combined.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the prepared sauce over the wings. Toss gently to coat all wings evenly.
Serve immediately with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
