Separate the tips from the wings, and wings from the legs with a sharp knife and two good whacks. The result: wings (less the tips) and legs.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Parboil wings for 8 minutes.

Drain on racks for about 5 minutes until mostly dry; then pat with paper towels until completely dry.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Working in batches, place 8-10 wings in a bowl with 1-2 Tbl. of sunflower (or other high heat oil) and 1-2 Tbl. of Mardi Gras Wing seasoning. Toss until well coated. Place directly onto large shallow rimmed baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes, then turn wings over and bake another 5 minutes.
