If the wings are not already cut, then cut them. To cut the chicken wings, find the joints, and use kitchen scissors to cut through the center of each joint, you then have three parts: the Drumette, the flat and the tip. Discard the tips and use the drumettes and flats or use whole chicken wings without cutting if you prefer.
Pat the wings dry with a kitchen towel then add the baking powder, black pepper, paprika, garlic granules, onion powder, parsley and salt. Mix well.Marinate for 60 minutes if you have the time and if not move on to the next step.
Place a wire rack on an oven tray then arrange the chicken wings on the tray in a single layer. Put the tray in the oven and bake at a temperature of 400F for 25 minutes. After the 25 minutes, bring the chicken out, use a tong to turn the wings to the other side, put back in the oven, and bake for another 15 minutes.
Bring chicken out of the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes then serve and enjoy or toss in a sauce of choice before serving.
