HOW TO GET CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS
There are a few ways to make chicken wings crispy. One way is to coat them with baking powder and spices before baking. The baking powder draws out moisture from the chicken skin, which helps it get crispy in the oven. Another way is to use a wire rack on top of your baking sheet. This elevates the wings and allows hot air to circulate around them, resulting in crispier skin. Lastly, you can broil the wings for a few minutes at the end of baking to give them a final crispy finish. Combine these techniques for ultimate crispy chicken wings.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN WINGS
Chicken wings are a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer or a main course. Here are some ideas for what to serve with chicken wings:
Dipping sauces: Classic buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, honey mustard, and BBQ sauce are all popular options.
Vegetables: Serve some fresh veggies like carrot and celery sticks, cucumbers, and bell peppers alongside the wings. This provides a refreshing contrast to the spicy wings.
French fries or sweet potato fries: Crispy fries are a classic side dish that pairs well with chicken wings.

LISA’S TIPS
- For the soy sauce I use gluten-free tamari, but you could use coconut aminos as well for a soy-free, paleo-friendly option.
- I always recommend a heavy duty baking sheet so it doesn’t warp when cooking. Here’s the baking sheet I use.
