Pat wings completely dry with kitchen roll. Critical step.
Toss with seasoning, brown sugar, salt, baking powder. Coat evenly.
Lay on a wire rack over a baking tray. Single layer.
200°C oven, 25 minutes. Skin should be golden and starting to crisp.
Meanwhile, simmer all glaze ingredients in a saucepan for 4 minutes. Sticky and shiny.
Pull wings out. Toss in half the glaze. Back in the oven, 8 more minutes.
Pull out, toss in remaining glaze, sprinkle of fresh spring onions. Eat.
Why baking powder matters
Baking powder raises the pH of the chicken skin, which encourages browning and crispness. It is the single trick that separates okay home wings from restaurant wings. Half a teaspoon per kilo is enough.
Make-ahead version
The dry-rubbed wings can sit in the fridge for up to 6 hours before cooking. Skin gets even crispier. The glaze can be made 3 days ahead and kept in a jar.
Variations
