How long to cook chicken wings

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 40:00

Fresh or frozen?

How crisp?

Fan or conventional?

A fan oven runs hotter than its dial says. Sensei takes about 15% off for one.

How to tell without a timer

Check 74°C / 165°F at the bone. Sauce them after, not before.

Chicken is a food-safety cook, not a preference. Check 74°C / 165°F at the thickest point, at the bone if there is one.

How it goes

Rack over a tray if you have one — the fat needs somewhere to go.
Turned. Skin should be tightening.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
