Pub-Style Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings (Super Crispy!)
These salt and pepper chicken wings are my go-to party appetizer—baked until golden and crispy, with a savory, peppery bite that’s impossible to resist. Made with just a few simple ingredients (and a little baking powder for extra crunch), they’re pub-style wings that disappear fast every single time.

Notes
You don't have to flip the chicken wings over halfway through cooking if you don't want to. They will get a little crispier all around if you flip them, but they will still be very good if you want to skip this step.
