Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet or rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.

Optionally, you can broil the wings for 2-3 minutes per side at the end to get them extra crispy.
Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with any remaining marinade from the baking sheet and toss to coat.

Serve the wings immediately, while hot and crispy. Enjoy!
