Ingredients (Serves 4)

🍗 For the Crispy Wings:

• 2 lbs chicken wings (drums & flats)

• 1 tablespoon baking powder (secret to crispiness!)

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

🔥 For the Buffalo Sauce (Spicy Option):

• ⅓ cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (or any sugar-free buffalo sauce)

• ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

🍯 For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce (Savory Option):

• ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

🥣 For Dipping:

• ¼ cup ranch dressing (sugar-free)

• ¼ cup blue cheese dressing (sugar-free)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Wings for Maximum Crispiness:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (or set air fryer to 375°F).

• Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels (this is key to crispiness).

• Toss wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder in a bowl.

💡 Why Baking Powder? It helps draw moisture out of the skin, making it extra crispy!

2️⃣ Bake or Air Fry the Wings:

🔥 Oven Method:

• Line a baking sheet with a wire rack and place wings in a single layer.

• Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

🔥 Air Fryer Method:

• Place wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

• Cook at 375°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.

• Increase heat to 400°F and cook for 5-7 more minutes until crispy.

3️⃣ Make Your Sauce Choice:

🔥 For Buffalo Wings:

• In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, hot sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

• Toss crispy wings in the sauce and serve immediately!

🧄 For Garlic Parmesan Wings:

• In a bowl, mix melted butter, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

• Toss wings in the buttery mixture, then sprinkle extra Parmesan on top!

4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

• Pair with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and serve with celery & cucumber slices for the full experience!

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking!
