Servings: 10–12
3 pounds chicken wings (wing tips removed)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon cloves (TIP: If you don’t have these spices on hand, you can use pumpkin pie spice instead.)

PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 250˚F/130˚C.
2. Place wings in a large bowl and pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Add the baking powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder to the wings. Stir to coat.
4. Spray a baking rack with nonstick cooking spray and place on top of a foiled sheet pan. Distribute wings evenly on top, making sure none of them touch.
5. Bake for 35 minutes, then increase the temperature to 425˚F/220˚C and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until wings are crisp and golden. (Do not remove the wings from the oven when increasing temperature.)
