Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
- 2
Prepare the Chicken Wings
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up in the oven.
- 3
Coat the Wings
Add baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the bowl with the chicken wings. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated.
- 4
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the rack. This allows air to circulate around the wings, helping them to cook evenly.
- 5
Sprinkle with Oil
Drizzle vegetable oil over the wings, making sure they are lightly coated. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
Cooking
- 6
Bake the Wings
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Make the Sauce (Optional)
If you want to make a sauce, combine hot sauce, melted butter, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well mixed and heated through. Adjust to taste.
- 8
Toss Wings in Sauce
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sauce if using. Otherwise, serve them plain.
- 9
Serve
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and enjoy hot, garnished with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
