Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds fresh or thawed chicken wings

Seasoning Blend

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (natural gelling agent)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Dry skin is essential for achieving a crispy texture during baking.
  2. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder (natural gelling agent), garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), paprika (natural), salt, and black pepper. Toss the wings thoroughly in this seasoning mix to coat them evenly.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a rack to ensure air circulation, which helps crisp the wings on all sides.
  4. Arrange and Bake: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they do not touch. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to achieve an even golden color and crisp texture.
  5. Add the Final Touch: Once baked, toss the wings gently in a mixture of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and grape juice. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set and caramelize slightly.

Notes

  • Always dry wings thoroughly before seasoning for best crispiness.
  • Use baking powder (natural gelling agent) for extra crunch without frying.
  • Do not crowd the baking pan to allow hot air to circulate evenly.
  • Flip wings halfway through baking to get even texture and color.
  • Ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety and juiciness.
