How to Make A Peri Peri Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill. Cook 2 lbs of chicken wings until cooked through (about 25-30 minutes in the oven, or until grill-marked and cooked through on the grill).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients: 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup peri-peri sauce, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, adjust to taste), and 1-3 finely chopped chili peppers (adjust type and quantity for desired heat level).
  3. Bring the sauce mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the cooked chicken wings with the cooled Peri Peri sauce, ensuring each wing is evenly coated.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or coleslaw. Enjoy!
