Ingredients

Method

  1. Prepare the oven and tray

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F or 220 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil and place an oven-proof wire rack over the foil.

  2. Mix the coating

    Whisk baking powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika together in a small bowl.

  3. Coat the wings

    Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle half of the baking powder mixture over the wings and toss to coat. Repeat with the remaining baking powder mixture, tossing well to coat, then arrange the wings on the rack of the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake until crisp

    Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the wings and bake for another 20 minutes. Turn the wings again and bake until browned and crispy, about 15 minutes more.

  5. Serve

    Transfer wings to a large bowl and serve hot.

Notes

Dry wings thoroughly before coating for the crispest skin.
