Instructions

  1. 01
    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, piri-piri sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
  2. 02
    Add the chicken wings and toss thoroughly to coat every surface. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  3. 03
    Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  4. 04
    Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for even roasting.
  5. 05
    Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crisp and the meat is cooked through.
  6. 06
    Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
