Getting Started
- For maximum crispness, pat chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels before seasoning. Moisture is the enemy of crispy skin.
- Toss wings with 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum-free) per pound before baking. This raises the skin's pH, breaking down proteins for a crispier result. Ensure even coating.
- Bake wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows air to circulate around the entire wing, preventing sogginess and promoting even browning.
- Start with high heat (425°F / 220°C) for 20-25 minutes to render fat and crisp the skin, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for another 15-20 minutes to cook through. Flip halfway.
