Easy Roasted Chicken Wings : Crispy and Tasty

When was the last time I roasted chicken wings or chicken for that matter? I really cannot remember.

Last Sunday during our grocery run at Aeon, I made the impromptu decision to pick up two packets of chicken wings. I also bought this.

Back home, I washed and pat dry the chicken wings. There were 5 wings in each packet, so I had 10 wings in total. Then I separated the drumettes and wingettes. The wing tips, I saved for soup (because I don't like to waste).

To prepare the seasoning, I put some butter (those small prepacked portions of butter of 10g each. I put 2) in a bowl and let it soften. I added 1 tablespoon olive oil,  2 tablespoons of the chicken seasoning, 3/4 tablespoons of light soy sauce and some crushed garlic. Then I mixed the ingredients with the softened butter.

After that I added the chicken wings and used my hand to mix the wings and seasoning. I left the marinated wings in the fridge overnight.

The next day, I took the bowl out to stand to room temperature.

Then I preheated the oven at 200C and placed the chicken wings in a single layer on a lined baking tray. These were roasted for 40 minutes, I flipped the wings at half time. When the wings were done, I left them in the oven for another 5 minutes.

The chicken wings turned out beautifully browned and crispy. They tasted really good too.

Between wingettes and drumettes, I prefer wingettes. Although it is less meaty, I find it tastier.

This Montreal Chicken Seasoning is quite good. You need to adjust the amount of seasoning because too much can be salty.

The recommended amount is 1 tablespoon per 1lb (500g) of chicken. 

This seasoning is made from garlic, onion, salt, spices and herbs including black pepper, red pepper, parsley, paprika and green bell pepper, a very aromatic and tasty combination. 

Leftovers can be easily reheated in the oven or in my case I used my air fryer.
