Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 4

Main ingredients:
- 1 kg of chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons of mustard (choose a quality mustard with a flavor and intensity you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon of honey (for a touch of sweetness)
- 3 tablespoons of water (to dilute the sauce)
- A pinch of Maggi Secret Flavor (optional, but recommended for added flavor)
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika (for color and flavor)

Preparing the mustard sauce

1. Preparing the sauce: In a bowl, add the 3 tablespoons of mustard. This will be the base of our sauce, so make sure to choose a mustard you like. If you want a spicier sauce, you can use Dijon mustard or a grainy mustard.

2. Adding wet ingredients: Dilute the mustard with the 3 tablespoons of water. This step is essential to achieve a smooth sauce that will stick perfectly to the wings. Then, add 1 teaspoon of honey, which will balance the strong flavor of the mustard.

3. Seasoning the sauce: Now is the time to add the spices. Sprinkle salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and dried parsley, then add a teaspoon of sweet paprika for extra color and flavor. Mix all the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous sauce.

Preparing the wings

4. Preparing the wings: Wash the chicken wings well under cold running water. Carefully dry them using paper towels, so the sauce will stick better to the meat.

5. Coating the wings in sauce: Place the wings in the bowl with the mustard sauce. Use a spatula or spoon to coat them evenly with the sauce. Make sure each piece is well infused with the delicious flavors of the sauce.

6. Arranging the wings in the baking tray: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the wings in a baking tray, leaving enough space between them to bake evenly. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.

7. Placing in the oven: Put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, turn the wings to brown evenly on both sides. This trick will ensure a perfect texture, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

8. Checking for doneness: At the end of the baking time, check if the wings are well cooked. The meat should be very tender, and the juices should run clear.

Serving

9. Delicious sides: These wings are delicious served alongside crispy fries or a fresh vegetable salad to balance the rich flavors. Another option is to serve them with a portion of rice or quinoa, which will absorb the delicious sauce.

10. Additional sauces: If you like, you can add a garlic yogurt sauce or spicy mayonnaise for an extra flavor boost at the table.

Helpful tips

- Spice variations: The spices can be customized according to your preferences. You can add cumin or garlic powder for a more intense flavor.
- A healthier choice: If you want to reduce calories, you can choose to grill the wings or bake them in the oven without oil.
- Storage: If there are leftover wings, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness.
