Make ultra crispy chicken wings in the oven using a simple baking powder technique. These no-fry wings stay juicy inside with perfectly crisp skin, ideal for game day or quick dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes separated)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: Sauce of choice (Buffalo, Honey Garlic, or Ranch seasoning)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the baking powder mixture.
  5. Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each wing for air circulation.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Flip the wings over. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden brown and very crisp.
  9. Remove wings from the oven. If you are using a sauce, toss the hot wings immediately in your desired sauce or dry rub.
  10. Serve immediately as a crowd pleaser appetizer or quick meal.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • If you prefer a saucy wing, toss them in sauce after they come out of the oven, then return them to the oven for 3-5 minutes to set the glaze.
  • This baking powder method is the best technique for achieving juicy inside, crispy outside wings without deep frying.
