Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Wings (Baking Powder)
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- baking rack
Ingredients
- 4 lbs chicken wings
- 1-½ tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Wash wings and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Remove the wing tips or keep them intact. If keeping them intact, pull them back until they snap. This will allow them to lay completely flat on the baking rack.
- Place chicken wings in a large bowl or on a baking sheet, add seasoning and mix well until wings are completely coated. Then, toss in baking powder and mix until the wings are completely coated.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack on top. Mist the rack with cooking spray to prevent the wings from sticking.
- Place wings with skin side up on the baking rack in a single layer. It's okay if they fit fairly close to each other.
- Place wings on the lower rack of the oven for 30 minutes. Then, move wings to the middle rack of the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time.
Notes
Although it's recommended that you not wash raw chicken due potential germs getting onto your countertop or sink, I still wash any chicken that I prepare. It's important that you do what makes you feel comfortable.
- Pat dry the chicken wings thoroughly with paper towels.
- Feel free to remove the tip of the wing or leave it intact. If leaving the wing tip intact, pull it back as far as you can until it snaps or becomes dislocated doing this will cause wings to lay flat on the baking rack.
- DO NOT MISTAKEN BAKING SODA for BAKING POWDER.
- Baking powder is a key ingredient in this recipe and should not be omitted this is part of the process of making the skin truly crispy.
- Follow the technique closely for increasing the oven temperature from 250 degrees F to 425 degrees F (refer to recipe card for details).
- Use a baking rack for this recipe as this elevate the chicken wings so they are not sitting in the fat that's rendered out during baking.
- Mist the baking rack with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the the wings from sticking.
