Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds fresh chicken wings with skin on
  • 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Finishing Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon grape juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them become crispy during baking.
  2. Season the wings: In a large bowl, mix natural baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss wings with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over them, massaging to coat every piece thoroughly.
  3. Arrange for baking: Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and lay the wings in a single layer, making sure they are spaced apart to allow air circulation for even crisping.
  4. Bake to perfection: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake wings for 25 minutes, then flip and continue baking for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Add finishing touches: Remove wings from the oven, let them rest for a couple of minutes, then gently toss with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) mixed with a splash of grape juice to add flavor and shine.

Notes

  • Dry wings thoroughly before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness.
  • Use natural baking powder for crackling skin texture without altering taste.
  • Space the wings out on the wire rack to prevent steaming and soften skin.
  • Flip wings halfway through baking for even crisping on both sides.
  • Let wings rest before tossing with sauce to maintain a crispy crust.
