Ingredients

  • chicken wings
  • salt
  • pepper
  • paprika
  • dried basil

Method

Cut the end joint off the chicken wings, and trim off any excess fat or skin. Score the wings on both sides with a knife to get all the flavour into the meat.

Put the wings in a hot frying pan with a little oil, season them with salt, pepper and paprika, and brown them on both sides, finishing it off with a sprinkle of dried basil.

Transfer the wings to a baking dish and cook in the oven at 160-180 degrees Celsius for about 30-40 minutes. Check the wings every 15 minutes as oven temperatures can vary. You want the wings to be cooked through with the juices running clear, and to have a nice brown finish.
