Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of sriracha or chili flakes to the marinade for some heat. If you don't have red wine, a dry white wine can work as a substitute. For a quicker marinade, try cutting the wings into smaller pieces to allow them to soak up the flavors more effectively. Ensure to turn the wings halfway through cooking for even browning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings, but it's best to thaw them first for the marinade to penetrate effectively. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave before marinating.
How can I make these wings spicier?
To increase the heat, you can add hot sauce to the marinade or use a spicy soy sauce. Additionally, incorporating fresh jalapeños or red pepper flakes will elevate the spice level to your liking.
Can I grill these wings instead of baking them?
Absolutely! After marinating, you can grill the wings on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, turning frequently, until they are cooked through and have a nice char. This method adds a smoky flavor that complements the marinade well.
