Frequently Asked Cooking Questions
- → How do I get crispy wings without frying?
Make sure you dry wings really well then toss them lightly in baking powder. Baking them on a wire rack helps air flow all around so the skin gets crunchy without frying.
- → Can I change the ranch seasoning to fit my taste?
Yes, go ahead and add more or less ranch spice to match what you like.
- → Why bake at a higher temp near the end?
Bumping up the oven heat at the last minute makes the skin extra crispy and nicely golden.
- → What does the baking powder do here?
It pulls moisture away from the skin, which helps it crisp up while baking without changing the flavor.
- → Can I make these wings ahead of time?
You can season the wings beforehand and keep them chilled. Just bake them fresh to get the best crunch and taste.
