How To Make technique essentials: easy/peasy crispy wings

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  This recipe works best when you have a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. This helps to crisp the wings top-and-bottom, without having to turn them over.
• 
  Step 3
  Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 4
  Place a rack in the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 400f/205c.
• 
  Step 5
  Place a piece of parchment paper into a rimmed baking sheet, and then add a wire rack (if you have one).
• 
  Step 6
  Add the melted butter, oil, and any other spices, to a bowl and toss the wings until evenly coated.
• 
  Step 7
  Lay them out on the baking sheet, being sure to give them a bit of space.
• 
  Step 8
  THE CRISPING TECHNIQUE Add the wings to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. If you are not using a rack, turn them over halfway through the baking process. Turn the heat down to about 170f/75c and leave them in the oven for up to an hour. If you are not using a rack, turn them over halfway through the baking process. You will know they are ready when the skins begin to turn a crispy golden brown. The low temperature helps to dry out and crisp the skin, while preventing the meat inside from overcooking.
