4poundschicken wings, cut into 2 pieces at the joints
2tablespoonsMadras curry powder
1teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonpepper(more or less, to taste)
1tablespoonsbaking powder
Chinese garlic chili sauce, optional for dipping
Lime wedges, squeezed over the top for garnish
Instructions
Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions.
Preheat oven to 250°F.
Line a baking pan with foil, then place a rack (like a cooling rack) on the foil. Spray the rack with cooking oil spray. This makes for quick clean up.
Place wings in a large bowl or in a zip top-bag. Add the baking powder, madras curry powder, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. I find a zip-top is easiest for this with less mess.
Place the wings on the baking tray in a single layer with the skin side up. They will fit snugly.
Place wings on the lower-middle oven rack and bake for 30 minutes.
Move wings up to the upper-middle rack and increase the oven temperature to 425°F.
Bake for 40 - 50 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Serve with Chinese garlic chili sauce and lime wedges.
Notes
Baking powder is NOT interchangeable with baking soda, make sure you don't grab the wrong one.
