Ingredients
- 2 kg chicken wings
- 4 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 5 tbsp Peri-Peri sauce
- 5 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 5 tbsp light brown sugar
- 5 tbsp runny honey
- 5 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Handful of fresh parsley
- Handful of pomegranate seeds
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix baking powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until fully coated.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking tray and arrange the wings in a single layer. Bake for 60 minutes, flipping halfway for even crisping.
While wings bake, combine Peri-Peri sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, melted butter, sesame oil, and sliced garlic in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Transfer baked wings to an ovenproof dish and generously baste with the marinade. Bake for 10 minutes. Repeat basting and baking two more times until wings are sticky and caramelized.
Top wings with fresh parsley, lemon slices, and pomegranate seeds. Serve hot with couscous salad or your favorite sides.
Notes
- Crispier Wings? Pat wings dry before seasoning.
- Milder Heat? Reduce Peri-Peri sauce or mix with extra honey.
- Grilled Option? Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally.
