Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Wash and dry the wings with a towel. Cut each wing into 3 parts: only 2 meaty parts are needed for the dish, the tip can be discarded or kept for broth.

Season the wings with salt and pepper to taste, place them on a rack greased with vegetable oil. Put a deep baking tray lined with foil under the rack: the fat will melt and collect in the foil-lined tray. Cook the wings this way for 30 minutes, flipping once.
