Oven-Baked Wings with Paprika and Mustard

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, garlic, paprika, hot paprika, cumin, turmeric, honey, mustard, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken.

   💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
2. 2
   Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
3. 3
   Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer, with space between the pieces.

   Bake uncovered 40 minutes, until the wings are golden and crisp. Halfway through, turn the pieces.

   💡In a single layer with space around each piece, the hot air surrounds it and the skin browns and crisps; crowded pieces steam in their own juices.

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
