You can use the cranberry sauce as a glaze or keep it as a dip – both are equally tasty!

Ingredients
1 kg chicken wings, jointed
1Tbsp.
baking powder, see GH Tip
1
spring onion, finely chopped, to garnish
FOR THE CRANBERRY GLAZE
4Tbsp.
cranberry sauce
3Tbsp.
sweet chilli sauce
1Tbsp.
red wine vinegar
1Tbsp.
ketchup
FOR THE BLUE CHEESE DIP
100g
soured cream
1Tbsp.
freshly squeezed lemon juice or white wine vinegar
75g
blue cheese, crumbled
2
spring onions, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 140°C (120°C fan) mark 1, and line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry with kitchen paper. Put in a large bowl with the baking powder and 1tsp each fine salt and freshly ground black pepper; toss to coat. Arrange wings on the baking tray in a single layer, skin-side up. If you can’t fit them in a single layer, use 2 trays. Cook in the oven for 30min.
Step 2Increase oven temperature to 240°C (220°C fan) mark 9. Turn wings skin-side down. Continue cooking wings for 20-25min, turning them halfway through so they are again skin-side up, until deep golden and crisp.
Step 3Meanwhile, in a small pan, mix all the cranberry glaze/dip ingredients to combine, mashing to break up any chunks. Warm through over medium heat, until bubbling. Set aside. In a small serving bowl, mix all the blue cheese dip ingredients with some seasoning.
Step 4If glazing the wings, brush the cranberry mixture over the wings (on both sides) and return to the oven for 5min. Sprinkle wings (glazed or unglazed) with the chopped spring onion and serve with the blue cheese dip, and (if unglazed) the cranberry sauce for dipping.
GH TIP Baking powder is the secret ingredient to getting wonderfully crispy wings in the oven rather than using a deep-fat fryer. Don’t worry, you don’t taste it in the cooked wings!
