📝 Preparation Steps

Crispy Baked Wings

Dry overnight (optional) - If you plan ahead, lay the wings on a rack on a rimmed baking tray and let them dry uncovered in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, pat them dry with paper towels.

Preheat the oven to 250°F/120°C (all oven types). Put one oven shelf in the lower quarter of the oven and one in the top quarter.

Line the tray with foil. Put a rack on the tray then spray the rack with oil.

Toss wings - Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle over baking powder and salt. Use hands to toss well (or shake in ziplock bag) to coat wings evenly.

baking powder (NOT baking soda / bi-carb soda) (Note 2)5 teaspoons(60g) unsalted butter, melted4 tbsp

Bake ⏱️ 30 minutes on low temp - Place the wings skin side up on the rack (ok if snug, they shrink). Bake on the lower shelf in the oven for ⏱️ 30 minutes.

Bake ⏱️ 40 minutes on high - Move the tray up to the higher shelf and turn the oven up to 425°F / 220°C (all oven types). Bake for a further 40 to ⏱️ 50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The wings do not need to be turned over. They are ready when dark golden brown and the skin is very crispy.

Toss in sauce - Transfer the wings into a large bowl. Pour over sauce and toss to coat. (Alternatively, serve wings plain with Buffalo Sauce for dipping).

Serve immediately with Blue Cheese Dip (for both wings and celery sticks dunking)!

(60g) unsalted butter, melted4 tbspCelery sticks

Buffalo Sauce

Whisk together the Sauce ingredients until the sugar is melted. Keep warm or reheat just prior to using.

Blue Cheese Dip

Mash the blue cheese with sour cream until smooth (or to your taste).

Add remaining ingredients and mix well until combined, using milk to get it to the consistency you want. Store in the fridge until required. Remove from the fridge ⏱️ 15 minutes before serving.
