Ingredients

  • 1 kg (2 lbs) chicken wings
  • water
  • salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 230 C (450 C).
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous amount of salt. Make it salty enough like seawater.
  • Place the chicken wings and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 7 minutes.
  • Using a colander, drain the wings completely and leave for a few minutes to allow the steam to evaporate. Then dry thoroughly with paper towels. It's important to rid the chicken of excess moisture.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet pan, skin side up.
  • Bake on a preheated oven for 25 mins. Flip the wings and bake for another 7 -10 mins. Set the oven to broil and let the wings crisp up under the broiler for 3 - 4 mins or until golden brown. Watch carefully while you broil the wings to avoid overcooking.
  • Serve as is or with your favorite sauce while hot.
