Drums or flats? You're guaranteed to choose both when it comes to this saucy, crispy plate of jerk seasoned chicken wings.
Ingredients
1 kg chicken wings, drumettes and flats, separated
1 tbsp olive oil
2 1/2 tbsp Jerk-Inspired Spice Blend, divided, (see Kitchen tips for recipe)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp melted butter
2 tsp lime juice
2 tsp chili-garlic sauce
1 tbsp finely chopped cilantro, (optional)
Instructions
Position rack in centre of oven and preheat to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Spray rack with oil.
Pat drumettes and flats dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with oil. Combine 2 tbsp spice blend and baking powder in a small bowl and sprinkle over chicken. Toss until well coated. Arrange drumettes and flats on prepared rack.
Bake until crisp, 35 to 40 min. Let stand for 5 min.
Meanwhile, stir remaining 1/2 tbsp spice blend with honey, soy sauce, butter, lime juice and chili-garlic sauce in a large bowl. Add wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges, if desired.

Kitchen tip
For even crispier wings, arrange on a wire rack set on a prepared sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight before baking.
Kitchen tip
Crispy wings will start to soften when tossed with sauce. For best results, toss just before serving.
