How to prepare

To simply roast the wings in the oven: preheat your oven to 180°C/Gas 4, season well on both sides, sit on a wire rack above a tray and roast for 30-40 mins until the skin is crisp and golden. Rest for at least 5 mins before serving. They’ll take less time on a hot BBQ - 20 mins or so. They are a perfect vehicle for sauces or marinades but often need to cook for a little longer, depending on the recipe.

Storage

Keep refrigerated below 5°C. Once opened, use immediately for best quality. If not required immediately freeze as soon as possible and always within the use by date. Once frozen use within 1 month. Defrost in a fridge and use same day. Do not refreeze.
