Equipment

  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings sectioned (around 24 wing pieces)
  • Cooking oil spray
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
 

  • Are you ready to sink your teeth into some delicious oven-roasted wings? Just follow these detailed steps!

Step 1: Prepare the Wings

  • Start by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. This step is vital for crispiness. You don’t want your wings soggy!

Step 2: Seasoning Your Wings

  • In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, lemon zest, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, cracked black pepper, onion powder, and ground cumin. Mix well. This blend will add flavor and help you achieve that crispy texture. Next, toss the chicken wings in the seasoning mix until they’re thoroughly coated.

Step 3: Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Preheating is key to getting that perfect crunch.

Step 4: Prepare the Baking Sheet

  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Then place a cooling rack on top of the sheet. Spritz the rack with cooking oil spray. This will elevate the wings, allowing airflow and enhancing the roast rather than bake.

Step 5: Arrange the Wings

  • Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the rack. Make sure to leave some space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6: Roast the Wings

  • Pop the wings into the oven and roast for about 40–45 minutes. Halfway through, flip them over to ensure an even golden brown on both sides. They should be crispy and cooked through.

Step 7: Sauce Them Up (Optional)

  • If you prefer saucy wings, toss them in your favorite sauce right after you take them out of the oven. Let your creative juices flow here; whether buffalo, BBQ, or garlic parmesan, make them your own!

Step 8: Enjoy!

  • Serve your mouth-watering wings warm, maybe with a side of celery and carrots for that crunch and some ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Dry Thoroughly: Ensure wings are dried properly before seasoning; moisture equals steaming, not crispy goodness.
  • Spacing is Key: Don’t overcrowd the baking rack. A crowded tray will steam the wings instead of giving them that coveted crispy exterior.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: While the recipe is great as is, feel free to tweak it! Adding cayenne can spice it up, or a pinch of sugar for a hint of sweetness.
  • Use a Thermometer: To ensure doneness, insert a meat thermometer. Wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let Them Rest: After cooking, allow them to rest for about five minutes. This helps retain the juices and keeps them moist.
