Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings split into flats and drumettes, tips removed
  • 2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder not baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp fine salt divided
  • 1 tsp neutral oil for rack
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil for hot coating
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup dill pickle slices drained

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F; oil an oven-safe rack over a foil-lined rimmed pan. Pat wings dry; toss with baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Arrange in one layer; bake 25 minutes. Turn; bake 25 to 35 minutes more until crisp and at least 165°F.
  3. Warm coating oil in a small saucepan over low 1 minute; remove from heat. Add cayenne, paprika, sugar, garlic powder, pepper, and remaining salt.
  4. Thinly brush hot wings with spiced oil, stirring between strokes to keep spices suspended.
