The Story

The exact origins of barbecue chicken wings as a dish are somewhat difficult to trace, as both the practice of barbecuing meats and the popularity of chicken wings have diverse and multifaceted histories. However, the concept of cooking wings with a barbecue-style sauce likely has its roots in American cuisine. The tradition of barbecue, which involves the slow cooking of meats over a fire or in a smoke-filled pit, is deeply entrenched in American food culture, with various regional styles developing over time in places like Texas, Kansas City, and the Carolinas. Chicken wings themselves became a popular food item in the United States in the latter half of the 20th century, with the creation of the iconic Buffalo wing in Buffalo, New York, in 1964.

¾ cup (36 Teaspoons) tomato ketchup
1 tbsp (3 Teaspoons) apple cider vinegar

Method

Recipe Instructions

 

  1. Preheat oven to 220C / 425F / 200C fan forced (Gas Mark 7). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Cut wings at joints to separate. Discard the wing tips. Pat the rest dry with paper towel and place in a bowl. Sprinkle over baking powder and salt and give them a good mix so they are all coated.
  3. Space out on the baking tray and place in the oven for 35-45 minutes until golden and crispy.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, add the sauce ingredients to a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer while stirring. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Once the chicken wings are ready, toss them in the BBQ sauce until well coated. Tip them back out onto the baking tray and bake for another 10 minutes.
