The crispiest Chicken Wings baked in the oven. The skin is deliciously crisp and salty, with tender meat on the inside. No deep frying required!
Ingredients
1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken wings
2 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder It has to be baking powder NOT baking soda
½ tsp salt make sure it’s regular table salt
½ tsp pepper
Instructions
✅Preheat the oven to 120C/250F (fan) and place a rack on a large baking tray.
✅Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette.
✅Dry the wings with paper towels, then place in a large bowl and add the baking powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Note – it's important to dry the wings first so they only get a light coating.
✅Place in a single layer on the rack, skin side up. It's fine for them to be touching. Discard any remaining coating once tossed together.
✅Place on the lower shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
✅After 30 minutes, turn the oven up to 220C/425F (fan) and rotate the tray for even cooking. Cook for a further 45-50 minutes until the wings are lightly golden and crispy.
✅Take out of the oven to cool slightly before serving.
