Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wingettes (about 24 pieces)
1 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup your favorite wing sauce (e.g., buffalo, BBQ, or teriyaki)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat chicken wingettes dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, mix baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add wingettes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange wingettes in a single layer on the wire rack, skin side up. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
In a large bowl, toss baked wingettes with your chosen sauce until well coated. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra crispiness, let the seasoned wingettes rest uncovered in the fridge for 1 hour before baking.
Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing.
To fry: heat oil to 375°F (190°C) and fry in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden.
