Achieve ultimate crispy baked chicken wings using a simple, secret technique that skips the deep fryer. These wings stay juicy inside while delivering a satisfying crunch on the outside, perfect for game night or parties. Leo shares his method for maximum crispiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: Your favorite wing sauce for tossing after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, then place an oven-safe 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, toss the dry wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated. The baking powder helps dry out the skin.
  4. Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each piece for air circulation. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Flip the wings over. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are deep golden brown and extremely crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven. Toss immediately with your preferred sauce, if using, or serve plain.

Notes

  • Using baking powder is the main trick for crispy baked skin without frying.
  • Ensure the wings are very dry before seasoning; moisture prevents crisping.
  • Do not skip the wire rack; it allows air to circulate underneath the wings.
  • For extra flavor, you can season with smoked paprika or onion powder alongside the basic spices.
