Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix the wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, leaving space between each.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes for extra crispiness.
Remove the wings from the oven and toss them in a bowl with ranch seasoning mix.
Serve immediately with veggie sticks and your choice of dipping sauce.
