For the Wings

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder and salt until evenly coated.
Baking
- Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until wings are crispy.
- For extra crispiness, flip the wings halfway through the second baking period.
Serving

Notes
Try different seasonings to change up the flavor. Serve wings with celery and carrot sticks or coleslaw for a complete experience. For best results, allow the wings to dry uncovered in the fridge for a few hours before cooking.
