Dinner: Perfectly Crisp Baked Chicken Wings

Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

3 lbs. Chicken Wings, drumsticks and wings (~20 wings)
1/4 cup Butter
1 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tbsp. Salt

Instructions

1. Put all of your chicken wings into a plastic bag and mix together the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
2. Pour all of the baking powder mixture into the bag with the chicken wings. Shake the bag very well to make sure all of the wings are coated in the mixture.
3. Place all chicken wings on a wire rack and set in the fridge overnight. This helps dry them out and breaks down the peptide bonds in the proteins of the chicken (allowing for more crisp).
4. When you’re ready the next day, position a rack in the top middle position and pre-heat your oven to 450F. Once the oven is heated, place the chicken wings in and bake for 20 minutes.
5. Remove the chicken from the oven and flip the chicken wings. Bake again for 15 minutes or until very crisp.
6. Toss with your favorite wing sauce – butter and cilantro, butter and hot sauce (buffalo sauce), or make something fancier (like garlic parmesan sauce).
