Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave them, but the oven will keep them crispier.
Tips for preparing Buffalo Chicken Wings With Peri Peri Sauce
- For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for the last few minutes of baking.
- Adjust the amount of Peri Peri sauce to control the heat level. If you prefer milder wings, start with less and add more to your taste.
- Feel free to let the wings marinate in the spice mixture for a couple of hours or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Variations
You can experiment with different sauces or spices! Try using buffalo sauce combined with Peri Peri for a milder spice or add honey for a sweet twist. For a healthier option, grill the wings instead of baking them.
