Helpful Tips & Variations
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- For a grill method, cook the wings on a preheated grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through and charred.
- Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to retain their crispiness.
- You can substitute dried herbs if fresh ones are not available; use 1 tsp dried rosemary and 1 tsp dried thyme.
