Chicken Wings
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken Wings
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Season the Wings
In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- 3
Bake the Wings
Place the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. This step helps to render the fat.
- 4
Increase the Temperature
After 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- 5
Fry the Wings
While the wings are baking, heat the oil in a large pot or deep fryer over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the wings in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes per batch.

Toss in Sauce
Remove the wings from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with your choice of buffalo sauce or barbecue sauce until evenly coated.

Serve
Serve the crispy wings with ranch dressing and celery sticks on the side.
