Instructions

PREP WINGS:

  1. Wash the wings well with cold water. Dry each wing with a paper towel. This will ensure each wing will get nice and crispy.

MAKE HARISSA PASTE:

  1. Add the hot pepper paste, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, mint, oregano, paprika, fennel powder, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix well until a thick paste/sauce forms. Season with salt to taste. It should be pungent.

COAT WINGS:

  1. Add the wings to the paste.
  2. Massage for 2-3 minutes.

CHILL WINGS:

  1. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap.
  2. Chill in the fridge for two hours or up to 24 hours.

BAKE WINGS:

  1. Move the oven rack to the middle position.
  2. Preheat oven to 400℉.
  3. Transfer the wings to a nonstick baking sheet or line a sheet pan with parchment paper when ready.
  4. Place each wing about ½ inch apart. If you place them too close, they will steam and not be crispy.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉.
  6. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • If you use a dark sheet pan, lower the heat to 375°F and continue to bake for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. 
  • I used Turkish Hot red pepper paste. Feel free to use sweet red pepper paste and add Cheyenne pepper (add the desired amount).
