Baked Chicken Wings – Extra Crispy

 

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings (tips removed, separated into wingettes and drumettes)
• 1 Tbsp BAKING POWDER (whatever you do, do NOT use baking soda)
• 1-2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
• Favorite Buffalo wing sauce for tossing or serving on the side
  Or a mix of favorite hot wing sauce and BBQ sauce, my new favorite

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450F
Dry chicken with a paper towel really well. Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle baking powder over the wings. Toss until all wings are evenly covered in baking powder.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack (see note) on top and spray with Pam or rub with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Lay the chicken wings on the rack, leaving space between the wings.
Place the baking sheet in the oven. Turn the heat down to 425F and set the mode to convection.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the wings are nicely browned and crisp.
Serve hot, tossed in Buffalo sauce or with the sauce on the side.
Recipe Notes
While a cooling rack helps with getting the melted chicken drain off the wings, it’s a major pain getting it cleaned afterwards. I stopped using a cooling rack and bake the wings on parchement paper. I don’t notice much difference, if any.

Crispy Grilled Chicken Wings

These crispy grilled chicken wings with a savory BBQ sauce are crispy, flavorful, and just plain good! The key to making them extra crisp after being coated in sauce is using rice flour, not all-purpose flour.

 

Either prepare your favorite barbecue rub and sauce, or buy pre-made versions at the store, to make things quick and easy.

 

These chicken wings can be grilled or baked in the oven, depending on your preference. Either way, you’ll love how crisp and tender they turn out.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• your favorite rub
• 1/2 cup water
• rice flour, for sprinkling
• spray oil, for cooking
• 1/4 cup savory BBQ sauce

Instructions

Step 1.

Place chicken wings in a large stainless steel bowl and sprinkle heavily with the rub. Toss evenly to coat.

Step 2.

Transfer the wings to a sealable plastic bag and add the water. Remove the air and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally.

Step 3.

When ready to cook, drain the wings in a colander and transfer to a large stainless steel bowl. Sprinkle heavily with rice flour and toss to coat. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4.

Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).

Step 5.

Spray wings with oil to coat, then turn over and spray the other side.

Step 6.

Grill or bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Step 7.

Place the BBQ sauce in a heatproof container and microwave until hot and thinned out. Place the cooked wings in the stainless steel bowl and pour the sauce over the wings. Toss to coat.

Step 8.

Serve immediately.
