1
You will also need 2 baking sheets lined with tinfoil and 2 wire racks, like the kind you use to cool baked goods.
-
2
If these are unavailable, 2 broiler pans should work just as well.
-
3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with tinfoil.
-
4
Place a wire rack on top of each baking sheet.
-
5
There is no need to fear chicken wings!
-
6
Separate the wings by finding the joints and slicing through them with a sharp knife.
-
7
Place drummettes and wingettes (the larger pieces) in a large bowl.
-
8
Discard wing tips or save for another use (like making chicken stock).
-
9
Drizzle wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
-
10
Toss to coat.
-
11
Arrange wings on wire rack in a single layer, skin side up, and place in a preheated 400 degrees F oven.
-
12
Set the timer for 45-50 minutes, and rotate the pans halfway through baking.
-
13
As soon as you put the wings in the oven, make the sauce.
-
14
Place butter, maple syrup, blackberry jam, ginger, cayenne, Worcestershire, and hot sauce in a small saucepan.
-
15
Set the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and whisk often, until the butter melts.
-
16
Turn the heat down to low and let the sauce simmer, whisking occasionally, until the wings are cooked through.
-
17
Since the sauce only takes a few minutes to put together, this should be at least 20-30 minutes.
-
18
When the wings have cooked through, about 45-50 minutes, remove them from the oven but leave the oven on.
-
19
Place the cooked wings in a large clean bowl.
-
20
Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
-
21
Spray the wire racks with nonstick cooking spray.
-
22
Put the wings back on the racks and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until sauce starts to caramelize.
