Directions

Step1

Preheat and Prep

- Preheat oven to 120°C (250°F), fan-assisted if possible.
- Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top. This helps the wings cook evenly and get crispy.

Step2

Dry the Wings

- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is essential for crispiness.

Step3

Coat the Wings

- In a large mixing bowl, combine:
• 2 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Optional: cayenne

- Add the wings and toss until all are evenly coated.

Step4

First Bake (Low and Slow)

- Arrange the wings skin-side up on the rack.
- Bake at 120°C (250°F) for 30 minutes. This step renders out fat and starts drying the skin.

Step5

High-Heat Finish

- After 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F).
- Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through for even browning.

Step6

Sauce (Optional)

- While wings bake, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add hot sauce and garlic powder, whisk until combined.
- Toss the baked wings in the sauce just before serving.
