Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds Fresh Chicken Wings Aim for about 24 to 30 wings.
Marinade Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Harissa Paste Adjust based on heat preference.
- 1/4 cup Honey Opt for pure honey for best results.
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps the marinade coat the wings.
- 3-4 cloves Garlic Minced.
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed is preferred.
- 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground.
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your chicken wings. If they are whole, separate them into flats and drumettes. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the cleaned chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade and coat thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the wings to a sealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 to 4 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Remove the wings from the refrigerator and place them in a single layer on the wire rack.
- Bake the wings for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs and your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
