Marinated chicken wings are a delicious and versatile option that combines the juiciness and flavor of chicken with a blend of spices and seasonings that enhance its taste. Marinated wings offer an intense and aromatic flavor thanks to the combination of spices and seasonings in the marinade. The mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, paprika, cumin, and thyme creates a symphony of flavors that infuse every bite, making the wings irresistible to any cooking enthusiast.

The juicy texture of the chicken wings pairs perfectly with the crispy layer that forms when baked. This contrast of textures is one of the most cherished characteristics of marinated wings, as it provides a complete sensory experience with each bite. Marinated wings are appreciated by people of all ages and culinary tastes. Their intense flavor and juicy, crispy texture make them a popular dish enjoyed by both children and adults, making them ideal for bringing the family together around the table.

Here is a basic recipe to prepare marinated chicken wings:

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg of chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon (optional, for serving)

Preparation:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, and pepper. This mixture will be your marinade.
  2. Wash and dry the chicken wings with kitchen paper.
  3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade and mix well, ensuring they are completely coated.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible, to allow the wings to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
  6. Cover a baking tray with aluminum foil and place the chicken wings in a single layer.
  7. Bake the chicken wings for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. You can brush them with the remaining marinade during the cooking process to keep them juicy.
  9. Once they are ready, remove the wings from the oven and serve them hot.
  10. You can squeeze a little fresh lemon juice on top if desired.
