Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp ranch seasoning mix

Equipment

  • large baking sheet
  • Oven-safe wire rack
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl
  • Paper towels
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place an oven-safe wire rack on top.
  2. Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss lightly to coat.
  5. Place wings in a single layer on the wire rack, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through. Increase oven temperature to 425°F for the final 10 minutes for extra crispiness.
  7. Transfer hot wings to a clean bowl and toss immediately with ranch seasoning until evenly coated.
  8. Serve hot for maximum crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Always use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid off flavors.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary.
  • For deeper ranch flavor, lightly mist wings with oil before tossing with seasoning.
  • Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
