Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats separated, tips discarded)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Cooking spray or oil (for wire rack)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with oil.
2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder.
4. Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss until evenly coated.
5. Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer with space between each wing.
6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are crispy and golden brown.
7. Let wings rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy as-is.
Notes
Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any metallic aftertaste.
For a quicker method, air fry at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Add lemon pepper or chipotle powder to the dry rub for extra flavor variations.
Wings can be tossed in hot sauce or BBQ sauce after baking for a saucy finish.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, and carrot sticks for a classic presentation.
