INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 kilo chicken wings

Marinade:

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoon yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cloves garlic grated or mashed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • If your chicken wings are whole, cut them into flats and drumettes. (Check out How to Cut a Chicken Wing!)
  • Use a knife to score two shallow cuts on each wing piece (both flats and drumettes).
  • In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients to make the marinade.
  • Add the wings and rub them well with the marinade by hand.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4–5 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the wings on it in a single layer without touching.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes. Check after 20 minutes. If the tops aren’t golden yet, bake for 5 more minutes or until nicely browned.
  • Serve immediately!
