Introduction
These baked chicken wings are incredibly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with savory flavor. Tossed in a rich butter glaze made with the pan drippings, they make the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer for game day or parties.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and baking powder to create the spice rub.
Step 3
Break down the whole chicken wings into drumettes and flats, discarding or freezing the wingtips for future stock.
Step 4
Thoroughly pat the prepped chicken wings completely dry using paper towels.
Step 5
Set aside one spoonful of the spice rub. Add the dried wings to the bowl and toss with the remaining spice rub until evenly coated.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Baking powder is essential as it reacts with the chicken juices to create tiny bubbles, resulting in a crispy texture similar to frying.
Patting the chicken completely dry before baking is crucial; any excess moisture will steam the chicken instead of crisping the skin.
Spacing the wings apart on the baking sheet ensures hot air circulates evenly, promoting optimal crispiness.
Pan drippings contain concentrated seasoning and chicken fat, which makes the finishing butter sauce extremely rich and flavorful.
