Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Wings
  1. Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together salt and baking powder, then sprinkle this over the wings.
  3. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place a cooling rack on top, then refrigerate the wings for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and pat the wings dry again before baking.
  5. Combine cornstarch and seasonings, then toss the wings in the mixture until well-coated.
  6. Arrange wings on the rack and bake for 12 minutes, then flip and bake for another 12 minutes.
  7. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C) and bake until crispy.
  8. Toss wings in BBQ sauce and arrange back on the rack, repeating for the remaining wings.
  9. Return wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until glossy.
  10. Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
