Notes

Tips
  • If you washed the chicken, immediately clean the sink and wherever it touches. 
  • Pat dry wings with a paper towel before adding the spicy marinade so the marinade is not watered.
  • Put in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes or more. 
  • Line the baking tray with baking paper so the tray is easy to clean after baking. 
  • Don't pile the wings on top of each other. Arrange in a single file for even cooking. 
  • Oven brand varies so adjust the oven temperature accordingly. 
  • Start with low heat to melt the fat then increase to get the skin crispy.
