Cook the Wings

Option A: Oven-Baked Preheat oven to 200 °C (fan-forced). Line a tray with baking paper or foil. Spread wings in a single layer. Bake 25–35 minutes, turning once halfway. For extra crisp or colour, grill/broil the last 2–3 minutes. Option B: Grill/BBQ Preheat BBQ or grill to medium-high. Cook wings for 15–25 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred.
