You do not need a deep fryer for truly crispy wings. Our test kitchen tosses the wings in a little baking powder, which draws moisture to the surface and helps the skin blister and crackle in the oven. A low-then-high baking method renders the fat first, then crisps the skin to a deep golden brown. Toss them in classic butter and hot sauce and serve with a cool, chunky blue cheese dip.

Instructions

  1. Pat the wings very dry with paper towels; the drier the skin, the crispier the result.
