Ingredients
  

For the Wings
  • 2 lbs chicken wings split into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
For the Sauce (Optional)
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter melted

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Wire rack
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up.
  3. In a bowl, mix the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  5. For saucy wings, mix hot sauce and melted butter in a bowl. Toss the baked wings in the sauce before serving.
