Ingredients

  • 4 lbs turkey wings 2 kg, Note 1
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dry rub of choice Note 2
  • 1 cup chicken stock 250 ml, Note 3

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Separate the turkey wings at the joint if they are not already divided. Cut the skin and meat around the joint to reveal it slightly. Grab the wing with both hands and break it at the joint. The two parts will still be attached here and there. Retake the knife and cut around the joint to release the wing parts completely.4 lbs turkey wings/ 2 kg
  3. Season: Place the wing sections into a large (deeper) roasting tin. Rub them well with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dry rub, and use your hands to coat them completely with the spices.2 tablespoons olive oil + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper + 1 tablespoon dry rub of choice
  4. Bake covered: Pour the hot stock into the tin around the wings so that the spices are not washed away. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour.1 cup chicken stock
  5. Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue roasting for 45 minutes or until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy (Note 4).
  6. Check internal temperature: If the wings are larger, prolong the cooking time until the turkey's internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit/ 74 degrees Celsius. Check that with an instant-read thermometer or by cutting into the thickest part of a wing; the meat should be soft, and the juices should run clear.

Notes

  • Wings: I had 3 wings, each weighing about 600 g/ 1.3 lb.
  • Seasoning: I often use 1 tablespoon of lemon pepper mixed with sea salt and about ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika. Otherwise, use your favorite dry rub or just salt and pepper. 
  • Or turkey stock, if available.
  • The roasting time depends on the size of the wings as well. If they are smaller or larger, adjust the time accordingly.
