Instructions

Cut each wing at the joint, so you have a mini wing and a drum. Wash the wings in a water bath made with lemon juice and vinegar. Pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as you can.
In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and salt together. Whisk well to combine. Sprinkle the mixture over the wings. Toss wings through seasoning until evenly coated.
Cover the wings and place them in the fridge and leave to marinate for 1 hour. Remove the wings from the fridge and sprinkle the baking powder over them and toss them together to make sure the baking powder coats all of them.
Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 200°C.
Line a rimmed baking tray with aluminium foil and set a wire rack inside. Lightly spray the rack with neutral oil.
Arrange on the wings on the rack in a single layer.
Bake for 30 minutes, flip and continue to cook for another 30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the wings.
Whilst the wings are baking, make the barbecue sauce. To a saucepan add all the ingredients and mix together. Heat the sauce over medium heat until boiling, the turn down heat to low and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Toss wings through the barbecue sauce to evenly coat. Serve immediately.
