Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs chicken wings drummettes and flats separated, avoid small wings
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1.5 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tsp neutral oil

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl

  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken wings completely dry and add the wings to a large bowl. Add the neutral oil to the wings.
  2. In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, ground white pepper and baking powder until combined. Pour half of the seasoning over the wings, mix, then add the rest of the seasonings to ensure all wings are evenly coated.
  3. Take a large baking sheet and line it with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lay the wings on the wire rack with space between each wing so they are not touching each other.
  4. Bake at 450F for 30 minutes (use convection if possible). Flip and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  5. Toss in your favorite sauce or eat plain and enjoy!
