East Nashville Spiced-Up Wings

We love these wings for game days, holidays... or even just Wednesday! See how we spice it up below:

2 ½ pounds chicken wing sections

2 tablespoons baking powder

2-3 tablespoons East Nashville Spice Co. “Original” or “Heat” blend

  1. Use a paper towel to pat the wings completely dry.

  2. Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions.

  3. Preheat oven to 250F.

  4. Line a baking tray with foil, then place a rack (like a cooling rack) on the foil. Spray the rack with oil spray.

  5. Place wings in a large bowl or a plastic zippy bag. Add the baking powder and spice, then toss to coat evenly.

  6. Place the wings on the baking tray in a single layer- they should just fit snugly. They will shrink when they cook because the fat renders out so don’t worry if they look too snug.

  7. Place wings on the lower middle oven rack and bake for 30 minutes.

  8. Move wings up to the upper middle rack and increase the oven temperature to 425F. Bake for 40 – 50 minutes, rotating the tray & flipping the wings halfway through.

  9. Remove baking tray from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes.

  10. Toss wings in sauce of choice or serve sauce on the side for dipping.
