Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Toss the wings to ensure that they are coated evenly.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Pat the wings dry: Before seasoning the wings, make sure to pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture and ensures the wings get crispy.
- Use baking powder: Adding a small amount of baking powder to the seasoning mixture can help to make the wings even crispier by creating a dry surface that will brown and crisp up in the oven.
- Use a wire rack: Elevating the wings off the baking sheet using a wire rack can help to make them even crispier by allowing air to circulate around the wings.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Be sure to leave space between the wings on the baking sheet, so they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Flip the wings halfway through cooking: Flip the wings over halfway through cooking to ensure both sides are evenly browned and crispy.
- Use a meat thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the wings to ensure they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C).
- Let the wings rest: Once the wings are done baking, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps to lock in the juices and ensures they are tender and juicy.
