Preheat to 190°C. Arrange wings in a single layer and cook for 22–25 minutes, turning and basting halfway through. For extra crunch, cook for an additional 3–5 minutes at 200°C.
Finish & Serve
Let the wings rest for 2–3 minutes. If desired, glaze with a little fresh marinade or BBQ sauce and serve immediately.
