Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a wire rack for optimal airflow.
  2. Pat chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and olive oil. Toss wings in the mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not crowded.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the wings for even cooking.
  6. After flipping, continue to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until wings are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove wings from oven and toss immediately with your favorite sauce, garnishing if desired before serving.
