Chef's notes
Remove moisture – pat dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as you can to ensure they turn out crispy.
Use baking powder – The baking powder creates such an incredible crust on the wings. It’s a must!
Bake on a rack – A wire rack allows the wings to circulate and makes them crispy all around.
