Notes

Tips
  • Mix the seasoning well so the spices and herbs are well combined before seasoning the wings with it.
  • For variety, you can choose to season the wings with different dry rub like lemon pepper, peri-peri, cajun, etc.
  • After seasoning the chicken wings, if you have enough time, put the wings in the fridge to marinate for a few hours.
  • To make cleaning up easier, line the baking tray with foil or baking paper before placing the oven rack on it.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer leaving a bit of space between them. Don't overcrowd the baking rack.
  • Don't overcook.
  • Let the wings rest for 3 minutes before serving.
