Sticky Spicy Baked Chicken Wings

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220C (450F).

Step 2

Whilst the oven is preheating, split the chicken wings in half into the drumette and wingette (flat). Remove the wing tips (you can use them in chicken broth).  Dry the chicken wing parts with a paper towel to ensure they are completely dry.

Step 3

Put the spices and baking powder in a small bowl and pour over the chicken wings in a freezer bag. Seal the freezer bag with air in like a pillow and shake the wings in the spices to ensure they are evenly and fully coated.

Step 4

Place the spice coated wings onto a lightly greased wire rack over a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Bake the wings in the oven for 40-50 minutes turning half way through, until the wings are super crispy and golden.

Step 5

Place all the ingredients for the chipotle lime sauce in a small skillet. Mix together the ingredients and warm together over medium high heat. Reduce by about a third until almost the thickness of honey, about 2-3 minutes. Toss the baked wings in the sauce in a large bowl and serve whilst hot, sticky and still crispy!

Step 6

Stir together the ingredients for the creamy dipping sauce until fully combined.
