Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried chili flakes or to taste - see Note 1
- 4 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- lime juice juice of 2 limes
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- black pepper to taste
- 1 kg chicken wings (bone in, skin on)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F. (Save this step till later if you plan to marinate your chicken first.)
- Mix together all of the ingredients (apart from the chicken wings!) in a large bowl to create a simple marinade. Place the chicken wings in the bowl of marinade, turning to coat each piece of chicken with marinade.
- Cover and marinate the chicken for 1 hour in the fridge, if you have the time. Alternatively, just continue with the recipe.
- Place all the chicken wings on a large non-stick roasting tray – well spaced out. (See Note 2.) Place the tray in your preheated oven.
- Roast the chicken wings for 20 minutes, turning once after 10 minutes.
- Serve with all your favourite Nando’s style sides!

Notes
- Adjust the heat by using more or less chilli flakes. Exact ‘hotness’ will depend on the brand of chilli flakes, but as a rough guide go for 1 teaspoon = mild, 2 teaspoons = medium, 3 teaspoons = hot, 4 teaspoons = extra hot.
- It’s very important to ensure the wings are spread out well over the baking sheet - if they are touching each other too much, or piled on top of each other, they will not cook properly. (If you do not have a baking tray large enough for this, use two smaller baking trays instead.)
- Suitable for freezing.
