It is ideal for special occasions and family dinners when you want to surprise your loved ones with something truly original.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a vacuum bag, mix the wings with baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt until they are coated in flour and baking powder. Then, carefully lay the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. Place the wings in the refrigerator uncovered overnight.

Meanwhile, wash the strawberries and cut them in half. In a pot over medium heat, combine the strawberries, vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and light brown sugar, and cook until the strawberries soften and release juice, about 10 minutes. Mash the strawberries with a wooden spatula and add the pepper, adobo sauce, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon depending on desired spiciness). Season with salt.

Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add water or chicken broth to achieve the desired consistency. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
