Ingredients
– 2 pounds of chicken wings
– 1/4 cup of Peri Peri sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Baking sheet or grilling pan
– Parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup)
– Basting brush (for sauce application)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I rinse the chicken wings under cold water, letting them dry on a paper towel while I prepare the marinade. Combining the Peri Peri sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl creates a mouthwatering mixture that I can’t resist. Once everything is combined, I toss the wings into the bowl, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Covering the bowl and letting it marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour (but preferably overnight) makes all the difference. This step enhances the flavor and tenderness of the wings immensely. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
