There are endless recipes for chicken wings, many of which are fried. Although many of these recipes are tasty, they are not good for our health. Fried foods, in general, are not healthy options. Even though they taste good, they will cause health issues.
This recipe is a healthier alternative to fried wings. You can cook it using your oven or your air fryer. I added a flavorful mixture of dried herbs and spices for this recipe, a great way to season poultry. It is also a great way to cook for your family if you are worried about eating too much salt. Herbs and spices add tons of flavor to food without adding salt.
Ingredients for the Spicy Roasted Chicken Wings
- Chicken wings: separated at the joints, or if possible, buy chicken wings already cut in half. If not, you must remove the tips first and cut the wing at the joint to split the drummette from the wingette.
- Vinegar: use white vinegar to clean the wings.
- Italian Seasoning: used for seasoning.
- Olive oil: add for moisture and flavor. You can also use canola oil, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil.
- Salt: to taste
- Garlic powder: used for seasoning and flavor.
- Ground cumin: this spice is very flavorful; be careful not to add too much. The taste will be ruined.
- Pikliz: this is a mixture of pickled vegetables and one of the most favorite condiments to enjoy with Haitian Griot.
- Ground Black pepper: for seasoning and flavor.
To make the basting sauce
- Honey: to tone down the spiciness and add a sweet flavor.
- NouBess Hot and Spicy Sauce: for a spicy and delicious kick.
- Dijon mustard: to balance and seal the flavor into the wings.
- Seasoned Rice Vinegar or regular Rice Vinegar: for more flavor and aroma.
- Salt to taste
How to make The Spicy Roasted Chicken Wings
- Cut the chicken wings in thirds, cutting between the bones. Discard the wing tips. Wash wings with vinegar and water. Pat dry, add to bowl with the seasoning and marinate for at least 30 minutes or longer.
