Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Wings
Perfectly juicy center, crispy wings made in the oven!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds party chicken wings about 20 small wings
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Pat your wings very dry with a paper towel. Do this several times to ensure they are very dry and have no moisture! (This will help them crisp up)
- Place your dried wings into a large bowl, add the avocado oil and mix until every wing is lightly coated.
- Add the baking powder, tapioca flour, salt, pepper and optional spices to the wings and mix until they are fully coated.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (for easier cleanup), and place a cooling rack on top. Separate the wingettes from the drummettes by putting the wingettes on one baking sheet and the drummettes on the other.
- Place your wings in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings with tongs, then bake for another 20 minutes. Watch the wingettes because they will likely be done sooner than the drummettes. Remove the wingettes when they look crispy and golden! (My wingettes portions were done 5 minutes before the drumettes) *If your wings are very large, it may take longer for them to get crispy. Simply keep flipping them every 20 minutes until they look crispy and then add an extra 5 minutes of broiling at the end.
- Once the drummettes are crispy and golden, Place the wingettes back in the oven and broil both the wingettes and drumettes for abother 5 minutes to supercharge the crispy skin! (**Don't skip this step)
- Enjoy the wings with dipping sauce, or toss in a sauce and serve immediately! (The longer the wings sit in the sauce, they will get a little bit soggy, so be sure to serve immedately before enjoying.)
Notes
These will stay good for 5 days in the fridge. I recommend storing them with no sauce on them and then reheating them in the oven at 425 degrees until warmed and crisp and then tossing in the desired sauce.
