This best crispy chicken wings is a heathier recipe than fried chicken wings.
It is oven baked. There are 5 top tips and a secret ingredient to make it crispy.
And with my favourite sauce… A tangy sauce.
The recipe is easy and tasty and we walloped 1 kg in 1 sitting, which is actually not a lot. So I made a 2nd batch. The 2nd batch wings have the wing tips, and, it resulted only like 10 pieces if the wings without the tips. The first round of wings, there 13 pieces. So it is more economical to buy the ones without wing tips, if it is available. But then, you need to check the price!
Since there were less wings, the wings did not touch when laid to dry and the end result was more crispy. Perhaps after the 1st round, I became more adapt at it. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Do give it a try and let me know your results.
