Crispy Baked Chicken Wings (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Wings

01 - 1.8 kg chicken wings, jointed with tips removed
02 - 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
03 - 3/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon paprika
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Buffalo Sauce

07 - 80 ml Frank's Wings Hot Sauce
08 - 300 g light brown sugar
09 - 1 tablespoon water

# Instructions:

01 - Position oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, place a wire rack on top, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
02 - Thoroughly pat wings dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. Complete drying is essential for achieving crispy skin.
03 - In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Sprinkle this mixture over the wings, tossing until evenly coated.
04 - Place wings skin-side up in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
05 - Bake on the upper-middle rack, turning every 20 minutes until wings are crispy and well-browned. Total cooking time may require up to 60 minutes depending on wing size.
06 - Remove wings from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before tossing with sauce.
07 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine all sauce ingredients, stirring until sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before applying to wings.

# Notes:

01 - The sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until needed.
02 - Using aluminum-free baking powder ensures no metallic taste in the final dish.
