In a pot, over medium heat add all of the sauce ingredients.

Stir and bring to a light simmer for 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Turn heat to low while you prepare the chicken.

Wash and thoroughly pat dry 2 lbs chicken wings. Set aside.

In a bowl combine 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over chicken, using your hands to really work in the spices for even coating.
