Crispy Chicken Wings

You have heard it said that you can only get crispy chicken wings by frying.

You might be correct, but you're not. Using this simple method, you will have crispy chicken wings in about an hour.

What's the trick? Baking powder. I am sure there is a good scientific explanation for what happens but the end result is crispy chicken wings.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°.
If you have time, you can put the wings on a wire rack and set in the fridge overnight. If not, just dry them off very well. This is a key step.
In a bowl, add the dry wings and sprinkle the baking powder on, stirring to coat evenly. Only a light coating is needed.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Spray your wire rack with cooking spray then lay the wings on it without touching each other.
Bake for 25 min, flip and bake for another 25 min.
For a little extra crisp, at the 20 min mark, turn the broiler on and bake for the last 5-6 minutes, flipping once.
Remove wings to a serving bowl and toss with your favorite wing sauce.
