Baked Chicken Wings

For Garnish:

• Chopped parsley or cilantro
• Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
2. Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving crispy skin.

Step 2: Season the Wings

1. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the seasoning mixture. The baking powder helps create a crispy texture by drawing moisture from the skin during baking.

Step 3: Bake the Wings

1. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow for proper air circulation.
2. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip them over using tongs and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
3. For an extra-crispy finish, broil the wings on high for 3-5 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce (Optional)

1. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce by whisking together the hot sauce, melted butter, and honey in a small bowl.
2. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat evenly.
