Method

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.
