Ingredients: 1¼ lb Chicken wings; 1¾ oz Butter; Garlic cloves, three, crushed; Baking powder, two teaspoons for the batch; Flat-leaf parsley, a handful; Sea salt, plenty; Black pepper, to taste

Baking powder on the skin raises its pH, which browns it far faster and gives an oven wing a texture close to a fried one. It is the only trick here and it is worth knowing.

Method

6 steps · 55 minutes

Dry the wings thoroughly and leave them uncovered in the fridge for a few hours if there is time.
Toss them in baking powder and salt, about two teaspoons of powder per kilo. Use baking powder and not baking soda, which tastes soapy.
On a rack over a baking sheet so the fat drips away and the air gets underneath. Sitting in their own fat, the undersides never crisp.
Twenty minutes at 325F to render the fat out, then 25 minutes at 425F to crisp them.
The two-stage heat is doing the work. Straight into a hot oven and the skin sets before the fat underneath has gone.
Melt the butter with the garlic off the heat and toss the wings in it at the very end, with the parsley.
