Ingredients

¼ cup (60 mL) fine sea salt

2 tsp (10 mL) baking soda

4 Ontario turkey wings with drumettes, separated

2 tsp (10 mL) fennel seeds

¼ cup IGF Seasoning Salt (see recipe)

¼ tsp (1 mL) coarse black pepper

1.Rinse turkey, pat dry with paper towels.

2.Line a plate with paper towels, place wings on plate. Add sea salt, baking soda to a small dish and mix with a fork. Sprinkle the mixture skin side up (exposed skin) of the turkey. Refrigerate with salt and baking soda side facing upwards for at least 2 hours.

3.Meanwhile, place a small skillet over medium heat, add fennel seeds, and toast briefly until fragrant for 1-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool. Transfer the seeds to a spice or coffee grinder and pulse until grounded.
