Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken wings (flats and drumettes)

• 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for heat)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This helps air circulate around the wings for crispiness.

2. Prepare the wings:
   Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Removing moisture is key to getting them crispy.

3. Coat wings:
   In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne if using. Add the wings and toss well until evenly coated.

4. Arrange wings:
   Place the wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Make sure they aren’t touching for maximum crispiness.

5. Bake:
   Bake for about 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through. Bake until wings are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:
   Toss wings in your favorite sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, honey garlic, etc.) or enjoy them plain with a dipping sauce.
