Notes
Tips
- The juice in the chicken must run clear with no blood around the bone and the internal temperature when checked with an instant thermometer should be over 165F/75C.
- If using big sized chicken wings, you might need to add additional time to the cooking time. Add ¾ - 1 cup of water in the pan after searing both sides and leave to cook till the water dries up. The water cooks it for longer without the skin burning and ensures the wings are cooked through.
- Pat wings with a paper towel to dry them before seasoning. This is so the seasoning isn't watered down.
- You can cook straight away after seasoning or season and leave in the fridge overnight or season in the morning ready for dinner time. The longer you leave it, the better infused with the flavors.
- Add any additional herbs or spices you like.
- Stir in sauces like buffalo sauce, bbq sauce, for different flavors each time you make it.
