Spicy, smoky and sticky these peri peri chicken wings are the perfect Nando's copycat. Chicken wings marinated in a homemade peri peri sauce and baked until crispy and slightly charred.
Roughly chop the chillies and remove the seeds if you prefer a more mild marinade. Place all the marinade ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blend until you have a thick and smooth paste.
In a large bowl toss the wings with the marinade and cover in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 200c and line a baking tray with foil. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Turn the oven to the grill/ broil setting and continue to cook the chicken wings for a further 5-7 minutes until the skin is deep golden and starting to char in some areas and on the edges.
Notes
Note 1- If you are concerned about the marinade being too spicy, then you can scrape the seeds out of the chilli peppers and discard them.Note 2- Preheating the the oven at 200c gets the chicken skin very crispy. If you are worried about the wings burning you can turn the oven down to 180c and bake a little bit longer. Note 3- Lining the tray with foil helps cut down on the mess. You can skip this step and just put the wings straight onto the tray.
