Baked chicken wings: Small pleasures that are a delight to eat

Baked chicken wings: Small pleasures that are a delight to eat

When a snack attack hits, these luscious wings are just the right defence.

Baked chicken wings with honey and spices.

Many consider the wings the best part of the chicken. Eat them broken down into their three parts – drummette, wingette and tip – or whole, as a snack or with a meal.

These are ready in a jiffy and pack a lot of flavour with only five ingredients.

Ingredients

  • Drummettes and wingettes
  • A1 Sauce (steak sauce): Original. This sauce is great with poultry.
  • Honey
  • Salt
  • Cayenne pepper

Method

  • Marinate the chicken with the marinade ingredients. It takes only five minutes prep time.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the wings on it in a single layer so they cook evenly.
  • Bake in the oven at 200°C for 30 minutes.

Tips

  • If the oven is too hot, the wings will become hard and dry, so 200°C is best – the skin will be crisp and the meat juicy.
  • Parchment paper is the preferred choice as the chicken will not stick to it. Aluminium foil can be used but spray it with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  • For whole wings, there is no need to adjust the temperature and baking time.

Dipping sauces

A variety of dipping sauces can enhance the baked chicken wing experience.

  • Barbecue sauce adds a smokey, all-American flavour.
  • Ranch dressing adds a rich and creamy taste.
  • Sriracha mayonnaise is hot and tangy.
