Ingredients

• 1.5 kg 1.5 wings, drumettes and flats separated

• 3 tablespoons 3 olive oil

• 1 teaspoon 1 kosher salt

• Barbeque sauce

• 1½ cups 1½ brown sugar

• 1¼ cups 1¼ ketchup

• 1½ tablespoons 1½ molasses

• 3 tablespoons 3 apple cider vinegar

• 1 tablespoon 1 lemon juice

• 2 teaspoons 2 ground mustard

• 1½ teaspoons 1½ smoked paprika

• ½ teaspoon ½ chilli powder

• ½ teaspoon ½ garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon ½ onion powder

• 1½ teaspoons 1½ sea salt

• 1½ teaspoons 1½ ground black pepper

Method

• Preheat the oven to 400°C.
• Fit the griddle attachment on the stovetop, and heat over medium heat. Toss the wings in the olive oil, getting them nicely coated, then season with salt.
• Working in batches, brown both sides of the wings, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the wings to a baking tray lined with a rack, and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
• While the wings are baking, combine all of the ingredients for the barbeque sauce in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and allow to simmer for 5 – 6 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. Set aside.
• After about 40 minutes, baste both sides of the wings with barbeque sauce, and continue baking another 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately with extra sauce.
