Difficulty: Moderate
π Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken wings (tip segments only, no tips)
- 3/4 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the glaze:
- 1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger (paste)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp hot chili paste
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 green onion stalks, cut lengthwise and chopped
πͺ Step-by-Step Instructions
- Toss the wings with spices and oil, massaging until evenly coated.
- Arrange wings spaced apart on a baking tray. Bake at 220Β°C (430Β°F) for 35 minutes, using the extra-browning setting if available for a crispier finish.
- Halfway through, brush wings with rendered fat from the pan for extra flavor and crispness.
- Once cooked through but still juicy, remove from oven.
- Prepare the glaze: quickly mix ginger paste, green onions, and crumbled oregano in a bowl β the residual heat will lightly cook the ingredients and release aromas.
- Add butter and chili paste, then toss the wings in the mixture until glazed and shiny.
- Serve immediately while hot and finger-licking good!
