Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds mixed chicken wings and drumettes
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Prep the wings: Pat the chicken wings and drumettes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the skin become crispy during cooking.
- Season wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder and Old Bay Seasoning until evenly coated. The baking powder is key for creating a crispy skin.
- Cook the wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow air circulation. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your salty, spicy Old Bay Wings as a perfect appetizer or snack!
Notes
- Using baking powder is essential for crispiness; do not substitute with baking soda.
- For extra heat, add cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for a classic wing experience.
- If you prefer, these wings can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for about 25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
