Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Wings

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture—this will help them crisp up in the oven.

2. Season the Wings
In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and baking powder. The baking powder helps the wings become extra crispy!

3. Bake the Wings
Place the wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows air circulation around the wings, helping them cook evenly and become crispy. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

4. Optional Glaze
If you prefer saucy wings, toss the baked wings in your favorite hot sauce or BBQ sauce immediately after they come out of the oven.
