Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb / 900 g chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp baking powder NOT baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Chinese 5 spice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C (unless planning to dry out chicken wings in the fridge, in which case do this later).
  • Pat chicken wings dry. Mix wings with salt, pepper, baking powder and Chinese 5 spice.
  • (optional) Place in the fridge in a single layer, ideally on a wire rack, for at least 1 hour, to dry out the skin.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Line the chicken wings in a single layer on top of the wire rack. Cook the chicken wings in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and increase the oven temperature to 425°F/220°C. Cook for another 20-25 minutes, or until wings are crispy and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
