Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C,3 turkey wings
Season turkey wings: Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Place them in the roasting tin, rub them with the oil, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper on both sides.
3 turkey wings + 2 tablespoons vegetable oil + 1 teaspoon fine sea salt + ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Roast: Carefully pour the stock around them. Cover the dish with foil and bake the wings for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
1 cup chicken stock
Brush with sauce: Remove the foil and brush the turkey wings with BBQ sauce on both sides.
½ cup BBQ sauce
Broil the turkey wings until they are sticky and glossy, flipping them once halfway through. The broiling time depends on your broiler; please watch them closely to prevent burning. I broiled them for 4 minutes on the underside, then flipped them and broiled for another 4 minutes on the top side.
Rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Turkey wings: The wings should be divided into wingettes and drumettes at the joint. If they’re not, you can do it yourself: Cut through the skin and meat around the joint to expose it slightly. Grip the wing with both hands and snap at the joint, then use your knife to separate the two parts fully.
Stock: Use any stock you have on hand. While homemade or jarred stock is ideal, stock cubes are perfectly ok if that’s what you have.
Sauce: Use your favorite brand or homemade BBQ sauce.
