  • Take your chopping board and knife and cut your garlic cloves into small medium pieces. Alternatively, you can also use a mincer.

  • Let the chicken wings rest for 30 minutes in the fridge so they can marinate in the spicy sauce.
  • Pre-heat your oven and set it to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Transfer the marinated wings on a dish with parchment paper, and lay them one next to each other, not overlapping.

  • After 20 minutes, move the dish to the lower level of the oven, and bake for another 20 minutes.
  • Then, take out the wings and turn them one by one. Put the dish back in the oven , this time on the higher level, and bake for another 20 minutes.
  • If you want your chicken wings to be very crispy, transfer them to a clean dish with clean parchment paper, and put under the grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
  • Take out the wings, let them cool for 2 minutes, and then sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.
