Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Chicken wings Split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder Must be aluminum-free. Do not use baking soda.
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Freshly cracked
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 cup Creamy dipping sauce Ranch or blue cheese
  • 1 whole Lime Cut into wedges for serving
  • 2 tbsp Fresh herbs Cilantro or parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. Lightly coat the wire rack with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. Removing excess moisture is essential for achieving crispy skin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every wing is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring there is space between each wing for hot air to circulate.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time, until the skin is golden brown and deeply crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve immediately with lime wedges and your choice of creamy dipping sauce.
