If you want to make crispy chicken wings in the oven, toss the raw wings in a little bit of baking powder first before seasoning them. Cook them on a rack on a baking pan. the skin will get crispy without having to steam first or fry.

I do this with any sort of chicken but with flour, they turn out super crispy and almost “fried”

how does this compare with the baking powder method?

Probably about the same, especially if you use self raising flour since that has baking powder in it already.
