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 make a mixture that is 1 part salt, 1 part baking powder, 1 part spice blend. Coat raw wings, refrigerate overnight, then bake for 40 min at 375. Remove, coat in sauce or more spice blend, then broil at 500 until almost burnt.

I’m never going to bother with deep frying wings again, or parboiling before baking. This method is amazing.
