Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly and toss with baking powder, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Arrange the seasoned wings on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  4. Bake the wings for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
  5. For extra crispiness, broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For best results, allow the wings to cool before serving for ideal texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
