Let’s get cooking!


Ingredients

(Serves 4-6)

  • 2kg chicken wings
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp hot pepper sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt to taste

Method

1. Marinate the Wings
In a large bowl, add the chicken wings along with all the seasonings and sauces. Don’t forget to add salt to taste! Mix well, ensuring every wing is fully coated in that flavorful marinade. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for an even deeper flavor!).

2. Preheat & Prepare
Set your oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

3. Bake to Perfection
Spread the wings evenly on the tray, making sure they aren’t overcrowded. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they turn beautifully golden, crispy, and irresistible.

4. Serve & Enjoy
Once out of the oven, let them rest for a few minutes. Serve them with your favorite dips – think garlic mayo, ranch, or a tangy pomegranate glaze – and enjoy every crispy, flavorful bite!


Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, turn on the grill (broiler) for the last 5 minutes!

These golden baked chicken wings are a must-try and will have everyone coming back for more. Enjoy!
