Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp oregano

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil) and place a wire rack on top.
  • Spray the rack with cooking oil and rub well.
  • Pat chicken wings dry with paper towel.
  • Add wings to a large bowl. Toss with baking powder and all the spices. Mix well to ensure wings are well coated.
  • Arrange wings on the wire rack - make sure they are spread apart
  • Bake wings for 45 minutes, flipping them half way through. Option to broil at the end for 2 minutes so extra crispiness.
  • Serve with carrots, celery, and your fav dip!

Notes

  • Make sure to pat them dry REALLY well with paper towel.
  • If you're making these for kids, consider just tossing them with baking powder, salt and pepper. My toddler looooves them and they are a great source of protein.
  • You can also bake them and serve with a side of your favorite buffalo sauce to have some dry Cajun wings and some dipped into a buffalo sauce.
  • You can bake them right on a baking sheet if you don't have a wire rack.
