Chicken Wings

Sauce (choose one or more)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the wings cook properly and become crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the chicken wings

    Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a crispy texture.

  3. 3

    Season the wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until the wings are evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Arrange the wings

    Place the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Ensure they are not overcrowded.

  2. 5

    Bake the wings

    Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Saucing

  1. 6

    Toss in sauce

    Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a clean bowl. Choose your sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, or Teriyaki) and toss the wings until they are evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces on the side, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
