Good to know

Chef's tip

🔪✨ For even crispier wings in the oven, add a teaspoon of baking powder to the marinade. It helps dry out the skin and makes it super crunchy! 😋🔥

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good, up to 3 months in vacuum-sealed or airtight freezer bags. Can be frozen raw or cooked.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The wings can be marinated the day before in a freezer bag or a covered dish in the fridge. Cook the same day.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Best in the oven (180°C for 10-15 min) or air fryer (160°C for 8-12 min) to keep them crispy. Microwave is possible but changes the texture and crispness.

Variations

Cook them on the grill over medium-high heat, on a clean, oiled grate.
Add fresh herbs before serving.
Serve with lemon slices.

Mistakes to avoid

Skipping the marinade: let the wings marinate for about 1 hour.
Not turning the wings: cook 15 minutes on each side, 30 minutes in total.
Cooking on a dirty grate: on the grill, use a clean, lightly oiled grate.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make grilled chicken wings?

Mix olive oil, lemon juice and zest, honey, garlic, chili flakes, salt and pepper, coat the wings with it, then cook 15 minutes on each side at 200°C in the oven or on the grill.

What temperature should chicken wings be cooked at?

In the oven, use 200°C with the fan on. On the grill, use medium-high heat with a very clean, lightly oiled grate. Cooking takes 30 minutes, 15 per side.

How do you get golden, sticky skin?

The honey and lemon juice in the marinade caramelize as they cook. Turn the wings halfway through, until they are nicely golden, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

The marinade combines 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice and zest of one lemon, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, salt and pepper.
