Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:

- 1 tray of chicken wings (about 1 kg)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of hot mustard
- 1 teaspoon of sweet mustard
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of chicken seasoning (check the label for salt content)
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Chopped chili, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of Delikat (or another vegetable flavor)

A bit of history:
Chicken wings have a long history in world cuisine, being a dish that has enjoyed popularity in various cultures. Whether fried, grilled, or baked, wings are a symbol of conviviality and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones. Today, I will present to you a delicious version with a spicy sauce that will delight your weekend evenings.

Step by Step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure the wings are well washed and cleaned. I recommend letting them come to room temperature before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.

2. Preparing the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, hot mustard, sweet mustard, olive oil, chicken seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, chili, and Delikat. Mix well until you obtain a smooth paste. This sauce will give the wings an intense and savory flavor.

3. Marinating the wings: Add the wings to the bowl with the sauce and mix well, ensuring that each wing is evenly coated. If you have time, let them marinate for about 30 minutes. This step is not essential, but it will intensify the flavors.

4. Cooking in the tenderizing bag: Transfer the wings to a sturdy plastic bag and seal it well. Make a few holes with a toothpick to allow steam to escape. Place the bag in the preheated oven at 200°C and let them bake for 10 minutes. This trick helps keep the wings juicy.

5. Browning the wings: After 10 minutes, take the wings out of the bag and place them on a baking tray. Let them brown for another 15-20 minutes until they become golden and crispy. Check them occasionally to ensure they don’t burn.

6. Serving: Spicy wings are delicious served hot, alongside a fresh garlic dip or a refreshing salad. Although I initially planned to serve them with polenta, they can be enjoyed without a side, being so flavorful that you don’t need anything else.

Practical tips:

- Customize the flavor: If you prefer a little less spicy, you can reduce the amount of chili or add a sweet tomato sauce for a pleasant contrast.
- Side dishes: These wings are perfect alongside fries, rice, or even grilled vegetables.
- Transform the recipe: You can adapt the sauce by adding honey for a sweet-spicy flavor or soy sauce for an Asian twist.
