What You’ll Need
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- Optional: additional spices or herbs of your choice
Marinating the Chicken Wings
1. In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Place the chicken wings in the bowl with the marinade and toss them until they are evenly coated. You can use your hands or tongs to make sure each wing is coated with the flavorful mixture.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil and let the chicken wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For even better results, marinate them overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Baking the Chicken Wings
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Remove the marinated chicken wings from the refrigerator and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each wing.
3. Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Turning them over halfway through the cooking time will ensure they are evenly crispy and delicious.
4. Once the chicken wings are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
