Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

I’ll show you the seasoned wings first. To a bowl, add salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix that to combine. To another small bowl, add baking powder and cornstarch. Whisk that together. This is what will make the chicken wings very crispy.
Here are my chicken wings that have been separated into drumettes and wingettes or flats. These have been washed. Dry them really well with paper towels. You don’t want any water on them. Put the seasoning mix on the chicken. Rub it into the wings. Now put the baking powder and cornstarch into a little sieve and sprinkle over the wings. Put some of it on and turn the wings over, keep sprinkling and mixing. This way, all the wings will be evenly coated. Take a baking sheet and oil it lightly. Lining the tray with parchment paper is an even better method. It’ll guarantee that the wings won’t stick to the pan and cleanup is easier. Lay the wings on the tray leaving a little space between them. Now, chilling this in the refrigerator for a few hours will make the wings more dry and result in a crispier wing. But many of you won’t have the space to put this large sheet tray in your fridge. So, you can bake this right away and still get a crispy wing. I did it both ways, baked right away and refrigerating for a few hours. Both were crispy. Heat your oven to 425 degrees F or 220 C. Bake the wings for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden. Turn over and cook for another 20 minutes until crispy. Perfectly seasoned, crispy skin, you don’t even need a sauce with these but if you really want to serve with ranch or creamy blue cheese dressing.
For the plain wings, to a bowl, add cornstarch, baking powder and salt. That’s it, you’re thinking this is way too simple but you don’t need anything else to make crispy wings. I’ve got the washed separated wings in a bowl. They’ve been dried well. Again, put the cornstarch mix in a small sieve. Sprinkle all over, turn the wings and keep sprinkling to cover evenly. I put them on a parchment lined baking sheet and baked them in the same temperature oven as the seasoned wings. Turn over after 20 to 25 minutes and cook for another 20 minutes until they are crispy. You won’t believe these simple wings seasoned with just salt can taste this good. Dip them into any sauce or quickly coat them in a buffalo sauce and serve right away. Don’t coat them in any thick sauce because you’ll lose the crispiness. Now you know how to make 2 kinds of wings very easily with little work. Give these a try and leave your comments below.

Made this today exactly as per your recipe. It was really good! Best oven wings we have ever cooked - really crispy but not dried out.. Thank you from the UK. 👍

Ms. Anita, very nice recipe, btw a tip I learned from a chef is putting the wings on a wire rack on the cookie sheet will crisp the wings up even better with no wet soggy spots on the wings, I hope that helps someone if needed, everyone have a great super bowl weekend & be safe

I made the spicy ones today. They are awesome and crispy just like you said! 😀

[coreymonday]

Thank you! I am going to try this tomorrow.!

[FredMcIntyre]

Sounds crispy and looks delicious Anita! 🤤👍🏻👊🏻

Amazing!! Bought discounted organic chicken wings yesterday and cooked them in IP for today's lunch. And now I turn on my tablet to see, how to make the souce to crisp them under the grill - and your video pops up!! Just what I wanted. This seasoning (with smoked paprika) I still have from your chicken thighs recipe. The secret crispyness ingredient sounds very interesting ))

[afrikapendleton]

I made these and they are absolutely delicious 😋. Thank you for this recipe

[sarahinmyblessedkitchen]

Just found your channel. Love you girl

[Es_Elle]

Oooh! I am going to make these this weekend! Thanks so much for the recipe, Anita! 😀

[trademarktm]

Thank you. I don't have a wire rack as many recipes state.

[lilericonaeast]

I'm about to flip mine a give them another 20 min. I'm exited to see how this turns out. I didn't have paprika so I just used alot of Cajun seasoning

[jsmooth]

I always knew baking powder makes a crispy baked chicken wing... Never knew to combine baking powder with cornstarch... I'm going to do this method all the time since I make a lot of baked chicken... You're my idol Anita❤❤❤

There's no measurements for ingredients. Other than that, I like the video. I agree with you on the parchment paper. Cooking on the cooling wrack probably does produce a crispy product, but like you said in a previous reply, The cooling wrack is hard to clean!😊

Nice recipe Anita.
I usually add Italian herb seasoning to it as well. The guys always ask for me to make them.

[samuelrivera]

I made this for friends at a get together and it was a hit! Thank you.

[AlaskanKitsune]

Hmm.. I wonder if I could do the seasoning and baking powder mixture in a bag with the chicken shake'n'bake style?..

[raquelmccreary]

Gonna try tonight for the game 😋I will be back tomorrow to tell you how it turned out 😂

[Shivanthi]

Can I use cornflour instead of cornstarch, please?

[AliMohamed-cwol]

Can you make sweet Laddoo And soy sauce

Could you please send me the link when the recipe is fixed, I love making your recipes!
