Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 jar (1/2 cup) pesto
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Pat down the chicken wings with a paper towel to dry.
- In a bowl mix chicken wings, baking powder, salt and pepper and garlic powder.
- Place on a sheet-pan with a wire rack sprayed with cooking spray so the wings don’t stick.
- The wire rack helps distribute heat around the wings so that you do not have to flip.
- Spray wings with oil spray and place in the middle rack of the oven for 30 minutes.
- After they are done cooking, mix in a bowl with pesto and enjoy.
- If the pesto is a paste add a little bit of olive oil while mixing.
