Chicken Wings, 5 Ways
Crispy Roasted Wings
The trick is getting the outside crisp without turning the meat into leather. My approach is to use a tiny bit of extra fat, baste the wings while they cook, and flip them partway through. Not only do they stay moist, but they get beautifully browned. They take about 45 minutes to prepare, largely unattended.
