📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil, top with a wire rack, and lightly oil rack with vegetable oil. Mix 2 Tbsp. Tang orange drink mix, 1 Tbsp. chipotle chile powder, 1 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. ground cumin, and ¼ tsp. celery salt in a small bowl to combine (you should have a scant ¼ cup spice mix).

Place 2 lb. chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated, in a large bowl and pat dry with paper towels. Add 3 Tbsp. spice mix, 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 Tbsp. baking powder, 1 Tbsp. white rice flour, 1 Tbsp. granulated onion, and 2 tsp. granulated garlic and toss with your hands until wings are evenly coated. Arrange on prepared rack, spacing evenly apart, and chill, uncovered, at least ⏱️ 4 hours and up to 1 day.

When ready to bake, let wings sit at room temperature ⏱️ 30 minutes.

Place a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 425°. Drizzle 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil over wings. Bake until cooked through and skin is browned and bubbling, 30–⏱️ 35 minutes. Using tongs, turn wings over and bake until golden brown on other side, 10–⏱️ 15 minutes. (Alternatively, you can grill the wings. Prepare a grill for medium-low heat; lightly oil grate. Grill wings directly on grate, skin side down, until slightly charred, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Turn wings over and continue griling, turning wings occasionally, until crisp and brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a wing registers 165°, 13–⏱️ 18 minutes more.)
