Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Wings
Here is another chicken wing recipe I got from my dear Kuma Snjezana. These wings are crispy and delicious.
They are oven baked (which I prefer to fried, not for health reasons, just because it's easier) and they are gluten free. Now I don't have to cook gluten free at home, but this recipe is amazing as it is perfect for everyone. (The sauces I use may not be gluten free, so use ingredients that are gluten free to make the sauces if you need to)
One very important tip is make sure that the wings are dry. If you are organised, put the wings on the rack and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight. I however, am never that organised, nor do I have the fridge space, so I just dry them using paper towels.
You can toss the wings in a sauce or serve it on the side. So far I have only made a pink sauce, but as I make more sauces, I'll add them on to the recipe. With the chicken being gluten free, the sauces may not be, so anyone needing a gluten free sauce, use ingredients that are gluten free to make the sauces or use a sauce that you love as these wings are great with a variety of sauces like Honey Soy; Honey Mustard; Ranch Dipping Sauce,
For the baking powder, I use the McKenzies brand.
MAKE SURE YOU USE BAKING POWDER NOT BICARB OF SODA OR BAKING SODA. If you use bicarb or baking soda, they will be inedible.
I like to use bigger wings, as they do decrease in size while baking as the fat renders out of them. Cut full wings into two pieces, at the joints. If the wing has the tip, cut it off and freeze them, use them to make soups or stocks.
With the sriracha in the pink sauce, I keep adding it until I am happy with the heat. I sometimes add 3-4 tablespoons of it.
This is a super easy recipe that will produce crispy chicken wings in the oven.

5 teaspoons baking powder (NOT BAKING SODA/BI-CARB SODA!!)
3/4 teaspoon salt
Oil spray

1/2 cup mayonnaise

Oil spray
Pink Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-2 tablespoons sriracha, to taste
Uncover the chicken wings and leave them in the fridge for a few hours to dry out. If you don't have time, just use paper towels to pat the wings dry.
Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions.
Preheat oven to 120C (all oven types standard/convection/fan).
Line a baking tray with foil, then place a rack (like a cooling rack) on the foil. Spray the rack with oil spray.
Place wings in a large bowl or in a ziplock bag. Add the baking powder and salt, then toss to coat evenly.
Place the wings on the baking tray in a single layer with the skin side up. They should just fit snugly. They will shrink when they cook because the fat renders out so don’t worry if they look too snug.
Place wings on the lower middle oven rack and bake for 30 minutes.
Move the wings up to the upper middle rack and increase the oven temperature to 220C (all oven types). Bake for 40–50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through.
Remove baking tray from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes.
Toss wings in sauce of choice or serve it on the side to dip/drizzle on the wings, then serve.
