Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Wings
  • 1.25 kg chicken wings cut up (wingettes & drumettes)
For the Creole Seasoning
  • 1.5 tbsp brown sugar tightly packed
  • 2.5 tsp paprika regular/sweet
  • 1.5 tsp salt cooking/kosher
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
For the Garlic Butter
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
For Garnish (Optional)
  • 2 tbsp coriander or parsley roughly chopped, or sliced green onion

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Large Bowl
  • Small bowls
  • Garlic press

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with foil and then baking paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the butter and crushed garlic. In a separate small bowl, combine all the Creole seasoning ingredients.
  3. Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle half of the Creole seasoning over the wings and toss to coat. Add the remaining seasoning and toss again until all wings are evenly coated. Pour the garlic butter over the wings and toss to combine.
  4. Spread the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, ensuring there is some space between them. Place skin-side up.
  5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Baste the wings with the juices from the tray at the 30-minute and 40-minute marks, and again at the end, until the wings are golden brown.
  6. Remove the tray from the oven. Baste the wings generously one last time with the tray juices. Transfer the wings to a serving plate and pour any remaining juices over them.
  7. Sprinkle with your choice of fresh herbs or green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

These wings serve 4 as a meal or 8 to 10 as an appetizer. If the tray juices remain watery, you can remove the wings and return the tray with the liquid to the oven to reduce before basting.
