- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
- In a large bowl, toss together the chicken wings, garlic granules, onion powder and a pinch of white pepper. Place in a single layer on a wire rack set over a large baking tray. Roast for 35-40 mins, opening the door every 10 mins to release the steam, until golden and crisp.
- Mix together the pesto, garlic, lemon zest and juice until evenly combined.
- To make the sauce, spoon the yogurt into a dipping bowl, mix in the garlic and season with freshly ground black pepper. Swirl through the pesto ensuring that it isn’t fully combined to achieve a marbled effect.
- Tip the crispy chicken wings into a large bowl. Spoon over the pesto mix and toss until evenly coated. Pour onto a serving platter and sprinkle with basil leaves. Serve with wedges of lemon and the pesto yogurt on the side.
