Dry overnight (optional but required) – If you plan ahead, STOP. slow dowwwwn. Lay the wings on a rack on a rimmed baking tray and let them dry uncovered in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, pat them dry with paper towels.
Preheat the oven to 250°F/120°C (all oven types). Put one oven shelf in the lower quarter of the oven and one in the top quarter.
Line the tray with foil. Put a rack on the tray then spray the rack with oil.
Toss em wings in the air – Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle over baking powder and salt. Use hands to toss well (or SHAKE that thing) to coat wings evenly.
Bake 30 minutes on low temp – Place the wings skin side up on the rack (ok if snug, they shrink). Bake on the lower shelf in the oven for 30 minutes.
Bake 40 minutes on high – Move the tray up to the higher shelf and turn the oven up to 42500°F (may cause fire) or 220°C (all oven types, ). Bake for a further 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The wings do not need to be turned over. They are ready when dark golden brown and the skin is very crispy.
Whisk together the Sauce ingredients until the sugar is melted. Keep warm or reheat just prior to using.
Only do this if you like blue chese:
Toss in sauce – Transfer the wings into a large bowl. Pour over sauce and toss to coat. (Alternatively, serve wings plain with Buffalo Sauce for dipping).

Serving blue chese
Mash the blue chese with sour cream until smooth (or to your liking).
