Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Chicken Wings
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 TSP Baking Powder
  • Sauce of Choice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top, set it aside.
  • Dry the chicken thoroughly with paper towels. Make sure you press down hard to remove as much excess moisture as possible from the chicken wings.
  • Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and add the baking powder and salt. Toss the chicken and let it rest while you make the sauce.
  • Combine the sauce ingredients into a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to come together and thicken to desired consistency, let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Bake the wings for about 30 minutes.
  • Pour about ¼ of the sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat, reserving the remaining sauce.
  • Bake the wings an additional 20-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp; about 50-55 minutes total, making sure to rate them halfway through.
  • While the wings are baking, you can thicken your sauce if desired. With the sauce in a pan over medium heat, pull about 1-2 TBS of sauce and place it in a small bowl. Add about 1 TBS Arrowroot starch and mix until the mixture is thick. Add this paste back to the pan and whisk.
  • When your wings are finished baking in the oven carefully remove them from the oven. Change the oven over to a low broil.
  • Brush more of the sauce over the wings, coating on all sides.
  • Put the wings back into the oven and broil them about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Note: You will want to watch your wings at this point to make sure the sides don't burn if your boiler is hotter than you expect.
  • Transfer the finished wings to a serving platter. Garnish with lime wedges, cilantro, green onion if desired.
  • Serve alongside more of the sauce for dipping and LOTS of napkins!

Notes

Use a sauce you like or mix and match for a full plate of fun for everyone.
