INGREDIENTS
2 lbs chicken wings (tips removed, separated into winglets and drumlets)
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
DIPPING SAUCE (Optional)
Hot wing sauce
BBQ sauce
Ranch Dressing
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F convection bake setting.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a sheet of parchment paper.
In a small bowl combine baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper.
Do not miss this step - Dry chicken wings with a paper towel to remove moisture.
Place the wings in a large bowl and sprinkle the baking powder seasoning over the wings. Toss until all wings are evenly covered.
Place the seasoned chicken wings on the baking sheet leaving space between the wings.
Reduce oven to 425 degrees F and place the baking sheet in the oven and bake wings for 30 - 40 minutes until crispy. NOTE: I found the 40 minute worked perfectly in my oven, check your wings at 30 minutes the first time making them and increase to 40 if needed.
Let the wings rest for 5 minutes season with salt and Enjoy!
What makes these so extra crunchy:
Baking powder helps in getting that golden colour and crispy skin.
Drying the chicken wings with a paper towel before tossing in baking powder removes moisture.
Always salt the wings after baking. Salt draws out moisture and inhibits the crunch factor.
Use the Convection Bake mode on your oven if you have it. This helps with crisping and also removing moisture from the wings.
DO NOT USE BAKING SODA. It’s not the same and is not interchangeable with baking powder.
