For the Sauce
- ½ cup tomato sauce

- Place chicken wings in a large bowl and sprinkle evenly with baking powder, sea salt and pepper. Using your hands give it a good toss to get all pieces nicely coated.
- Place chicken wings on roasting tray, making sure you leave a bit of space in between each one - this will help them to get crispier while roasting.

- In a small saucepan, add all sauce ingredients, whisk and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the chicken wings are cooked through to the middle and crispy on the outside, place them in a large bowl and drizzle with your sauce mixture.
- Gently, and carefully toss to coat (they are hot!). Serve with our serving ideas and toppings of choice. ENJOY!
