Chef's Notes and Tips
- Crispy Outer Layer: Use aluminum-free baking powder for a golden, crispy outer layer, bake at a high temperature to ensure crunchiness, and consider broiling for the final 5 to 7 minutes for an extra crisp finish.
- Baking Temperature: While I baked the wings at 400°F for 40-50 minutes to achieve the perfect crispiness, you can adjust the temperature between 360°F and 425°F. Bake until the skin is crispy and golden to your preference.
