# What You’ll Need:

→ Chicken Wings

01 - 1.5 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
02 - 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
04 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and position a wire rack on top.
