I absolutely love these crispy wings. These wings are not fried, they are baked and they’re  just amazing and so addictive. Once you try baking your wings with the method I’m going to talk about soon, you’ll never fry your wings again.

Look at how crispy these baked wings are?  So GOOD. Here’s the easy method to get extra crispy wings. First you need baking powder. Please don’t make the mistake and use baking soda. Baking soda and baking powder are not the same. Trust me, You will be pretty upset if you use baking soda so make sure you use BAKING POWDER.

Make sure you pat the chicken dry. If the chicken isn’t dry then the chicken wings won’t crisp up so please make sure you really pat the chicken down using paper towels.

Next thing you’ll need is a cookie sheet. Put the baking rack inside of the cookie sheet. Spray your rack with cooking spray.Add the chicken to a bowl or ziploc bag. Add the salt and the baking powder and salt, then toss to coat evenly.  Place the chicken wings on the rack in a single layer. Do not let the chicken touch.

If the chicken is touching they will steam and won’t crisp up. Place the wings on the lower middle oven rack and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes do not remove the wings from the oven just raise the heat to 425°F. Bake for 40-50 minutes until brown and crispy. Remove and let the chicken wings rest for 5 minutes then serve plain or serve with my not too spicy buttermilk buffalo wing sauce or your favorite sauce.
