Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place a cooling rack on top of the foil. Spray the rack with cooking spray.

- Place the wings on the cooling rack in the prepared baking sheet making sure that the wings do not touch.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the wings over again.
- Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Bake the wings for another 10 to 20 minutes. The wings should be golden brown and crispy crunchy.

Notes
- Make clean up a breeze by lining the baking sheet with foil.
- To ensure super crispy wings, place wings on a cooling rack in the baking sheet.
- Don't make the mistake of using baking soda instead of baking powder. When the baking powder is mixed with salt, it dries out the chicken skin as it bakes making for crispy and crunchy wings.
- This wing recipe takes a little patience while they bake. Be sure to flip them so they are crispy on all sides.
- Increasing the oven temperature for the last 20 to 25 minutes of baking gives the wings a last blast of heat. They will be golden brown and delicious.
