Ingredients
- 8 strips of pancetta
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 16 chicken wings
How to Make It
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Put the strips of pancetta on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes until dark and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Put into a spice grinder or blender and blitz to a powder, then add the sugar, smoked paprika and cayenne and blitz quickly again.
- Put the chicken wings in a bowl and rub all the smoky bacon mixture into the wings. Spread them out on a baking sheet, making sure there is plenty of the bacon mixture on top of the wings so it melts as they cook. Roast 20 minutes until the chicken wings are colored and cooked through. Serve warm on their own as a smoky and spicy snack.
