Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mix. The baking powder helps to make the skin crispy without the need for gluten-containing flours.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on 1-2 baking sheets, leaving a little space between each wing.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy and reach an internal temperature of 165F. If you’re using two baking sheets, halfway through the baking time, switch the baking sheets in the oven.
Once the wings are cooked, place them in a clean bowl. Pour your favorite gluten-free sauce over the wings, such as BBQ sauce, and toss until they are coated.
Serve the wings hot, either plain or sauced, with your choice of gluten-free dips and sides. Celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a gluten-free ranch or blue cheese dressing are classic accompaniments.

Notes

I used BBQ sauce to coat my chicken wings after baking. If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet, keep in mind that not all BBQ sauces or buffalo sauces are gluten-free. You will need to double check the ingredients to ensure yours are gluten-free. I used Stubb's Barbecue Sauce Original, which is certified gluten-free.
Do not overcrowd your wings on the baking sheet, otherwise they may not crisp up. If you need to use 2 baking sheets un order to leave a few inches in between each wing, then do so for best results.
