Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon butcher's grind cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of celery seeds

Steps:

For the wings: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with the oil.
Pat the wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the baking powder and toss to evenly coat in a large mixing bowl. Spread the wings evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
For the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne and celery seeds in a small bowl.
Remove the wings from the oven and add to another large mixing bowl. Season well with some of the rub, and then toss to coat. (Reserve the remaining rub for another use.) Serve immediately.

Tips for Crispy Baked Chicken Wings:

- Choose the Right Wings: Select fresh, plump chicken wings with even skin and no bruises. If using frozen wings, thaw them thoroughly before cooking. - Dry the Wings Thoroughly: Pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the wings crisp up in the oven. - Season Liberally: Use a generous amount of seasoning to flavor the wings. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper are classic choices. You can also experiment with other seasonings like cayenne pepper, cumin, or chili powder. - Use a Wire Rack: Place the wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow air to circulate all around them. This will help them crisp up evenly. - Preheat the Oven: Make sure the oven is preheated to the desired temperature before baking the wings. This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from becoming soggy. - Flip the Wings: Flip the chicken wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly on both sides. - Serve with Your Favorite Sauce: Serve the crispy baked chicken wings with your favorite sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.
