Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp dry mustard

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare your chicken wings by cutting through the joint which connects the middle portion of the wing to the meatiest portion. Then cut through the joint which connects the middle portion to the tip. You will now be left with 3 separate pieces. Discard the tip, or reserve it for another use (see Helpful hints in the post). You will be cooking with the larger two portions of the wing.1 kg chicken wings
- Pat the wings dry with a paper towel.
- In a medium size bowl use a fork to mix together the baking powder, dry mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper.1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp dry mustard, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
- Add the wings to the bowl and mix well with your hands, ensuring that you coat all parts of the wings with the baking powder mixture.
- These wings are best when baked on a rack or pan with a drip tray. Spray the surface on which you will place the wings with cooking spray or apply a very light brushing of vegetable oil to it. Place the wings on the baking tray rack being careful not to have the wings touching.
- Bake in the lower third of your oven for approximately 20 minutes., flipping them over after 10 minutes.
- While the wings are baking, in a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the honey mustard sauce.½ tsp salt, ½ cup (125 mL) honey, ⅓ cup (80 mL) yellow mustard, ¼ cup (50 grams) brown sugar, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp chili flakes, ½ tsp dry mustard, ¼ tsp pepper
- Remove your wings from the oven and transfer them to the bowl (a few at a time if they don't all fit at once) and toss to coat with the honey mustard sauce. Once coated in sauce transfer your wings to a greased baking pan.
- Return wings to oven and back for an additional 10 minutes, mixing at the 5 minute mark.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
We like to first cook these wings on a baking pan with a drip tray for maximum crispiness. Then, when we toss the wings with sauce and finish cooking them we use a regular baking pan or baking tray. If you don't have a pan with a drip tray simply use your regular baking pan or baking tray for all of the steps.
