Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds (0.9 kilograms) split chicken wings
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) baking powder
- 1 batch dry rub for chicken wings
Garnish and Sides:
- Thinly sliced chives, for serving
- Celery and carrots, for serving
- Homemade blue cheese dressing, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the wing canvas by gently blotting chicken pieces with clean kitchen towels to eliminate excess moisture, ensuring maximum crispiness.
- Create a flavor enhancement mixture combining avocado oil, baking powder, and seasonings in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Delicately tumble chicken segments within the seasoning blend, meticulously coating each piece to guarantee uniform flavor distribution.
- Strategically arrange wing portions across a parchment-lined baking surface, maintaining strategic spacing between pieces to promote ideal air circulation.
- Position the prepared wing array into a preheated thermal environment calibrated to 425°F, allowing precise culinary transformation.
- Execute a midpoint rotation approximately 20-25 minutes into cooking process to guarantee balanced caramelization and consistent texture development.
- Monitor wing progression, watching for a golden-amber exterior and crisp skin indication of complete thermal preparation.
- Extract wings once achieving desired burnished appearance, typically requiring 40-45 minutes total cooking duration.
- Allow brief resting interval to stabilize internal temperature and solidify exterior crispness.
- Present alongside traditional accompaniments like crisp vegetable sticks and tangy blue cheese dressing for complementary flavor experience.
Notes
- Ensure wings are completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Baking powder acts as a secret weapon, helping break down protein and create that irresistible crispy exterior without deep frying.
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet for even more crunch, allowing air circulation around the wings during cooking.
- Customize dry rub with different spice blends like Cajun, BBQ, or Mediterranean to keep the recipe exciting and match various flavor preferences.
