This recipe delivers perfectly crispy and juicy chicken wings without using baking powder, relying instead on a simple seasoning and oven technique for a clean, flavorful crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 grams) chicken wings, tips removed or left on as preferred
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon (8 grams) cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil or melted butter
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper or dried herbs like thyme or oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and any optional spices.
  4. Sprinkle cornstarch over the wings and toss again until evenly coated.
  5. Drizzle olive oil or melted butter over the wings and toss gently to coat.
  6. Arrange the wings on the wire rack spaced apart so they are not touching.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through baking using tongs to ensure even crisping.
  8. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) or that juices run clear and skin is golden brown.
  9. Remove wings from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat wings very dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Use a wire rack for best air circulation. Flip wings halfway through baking for even browning. If wings are not crispy enough, broil for 1-2 minutes while watching closely. For gluten-free option, substitute cornstarch with arrowroot powder or potato starch. Store leftovers in airtight container and reheat on wire rack at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.
