Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Pat the wings very dry with kitchen paper. Toss with the baking powder and salt until lightly coated.
- 2
Spread the wings on a wire rack set over a baking tray, skin side up, with space between them. Bake for 25 minutes.
25 min - 3
Turn the wings and bake for 20 minutes more, until the skin is golden and crisp.
20 min - 4
Warm your ready made teriyaki sauce (see the base recipe) in a large pan for 2 minutes until bubbling.
- 5
Tip in the hot wings and toss until completely coated. Check the thickest wing is cooked through, with clear juices and no pink.
- 6
Pile on a plate and scatter with the sesame seeds and spring onions. Eat while hot, with plenty of napkins.
Tips
- Baking powder (not bicarbonate) draws moisture from the skin and makes the wings crisp without frying. Check it is gluten free.
- Toss the wings in the sauce after baking, not before, so the sugar does not burn.
- Add a pinch of chilli flakes to the sauce for a gentle kick.
Storing and freezing
Keeps 2 days in the fridge, cooled within 1 hour. Reheat on a tray in a hot oven for 15 minutes until steaming hot and crisp.
