Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2.2 lbs chicken wings, wings, and drummettes
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp onion powder (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 120C/250F (fan) and place a rack on a large baking tray.
  2. Cut each chicken wing at the joint to separate the mini wing and drumette.
  3. Pat the wings dry with paper towels and transfer them to a large bowl.
  4. Add baking powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the wings. Toss to ensure even coating. Note: Make sure the wings are dry before adding the coating.
  5. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack, skin side up. It's okay if they're touching.
  6. After 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 220C/425F (fan) and rotate the tray for even cooking.
  7. Continue baking for an additional 45-50 minutes until the wings are golden and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

HOT TIP: All ovens are different. Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken temperature
