Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

  3. Add chicken wings to a large bowl and pour half of the seasoning mix. Toss well to coat the wings. Add the remaining seasoning and toss again, then pour the garlic butter mixture over the wings and mix until well coated.
  4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, spread the wings in a single layer.
