Nando’s Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs chicken wings, split at joints and tips removed
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tbsp lemon juice
– 2 tbsp Nando’s peri-peri sauce (choose your preferred spice level)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, peri-peri sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined to make the marinade.
2. Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for the flavors to meld and infuse into the meat.
3. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, make sure to oil the grill grates to prevent the wings from sticking.
4. If grilling: Place the marinated chicken wings on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are cooked through and have a nice charred exterior. Make sure to brush any remaining marinade onto the wings while grilling for extra flavor.
5. If baking: Arrange the marinated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
6. Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus.
7. Enjoy these Nando’s Chicken Wings hot and fresh from the grill or oven, paired with a side of coleslaw, corn on the cob, or your favorite dipping sauce. They make a fantastic appetizer for a party or a delicious main dish for a family meal.
These Nando’s Chicken Wings are a fantastic way to spice up your usual chicken wing recipe with the bold flavors of peri-peri sauce. Whether you’re a fan of mild or extra hot, these wings are customizable to your preferred spice level, making them a versatile and crowd-pleasing dish that’s perfect for any get-together.
