Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Pat the Chicken ingredients thoroughly dry with paper towels, then toss in a bowl with baking powder and salt until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour to dehydrate the skin.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the wings for 45 to 50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and immediately toss the hot wings with the Seasoning ingredients in a large bowl to ensure the spices adhere to the rendered skin.
