Instructions

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and olive oil.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
For extra crispiness, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of cooking.
Toss with your favorite sauce or serve as is
