Directions:

1. 1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: In a large bowl, combine chicken wings with salt, black pepper, paprika, dry garlic, and vegetable oil. Mix well to ensure the wings are evenly coated.

1. 1. Bake the Chicken Wings: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the chicken wings on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 minutes.

   2. Prepare the Sauce: While the wings are baking, mix together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

   3. Apply the Sauce: After 25 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the prepared sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (428°F) and bake for an additional 10 minutes using convection mode for a crispy finish.

1. 1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, coriander, and vegetable oil until evenly coated.

   2. Bake the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 40 minutes. For an extra crispy texture, bake an additional 5-7 minutes in convection mode at the same temperature.

TIPS AND TRICKS

1. 1. Marinating Time: For even more flavorful wings, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat deeply.

1. 1. Crisping the Wings: For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

   2. Alternative Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with other seasonings like chili powder, cumin, or smoked paprika to give your wings a unique twist.

   3. Healthy Options: For a healthier version, you can bake the wings on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows excess fat to drip off, resulting in less greasy wings.

1. 1. Serving Suggestions: Serve these wings and potatoes with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to balance the meal.

   2. Potato Varieties: You can use different types of potatoes such as sweet potatoes or Yukon Golds for a different flavor and texture.

   3. Leftover Sauce: If you have leftover sauce, use it as a dip for the wings or as a marinade for another batch of chicken.

1. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.

2. Garnishing: Garnish the wings and potatoes with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.

3. Cooking in Advance: You can prepare the potatoes and season the wings in advance. When ready to eat, just bake everything according to the directions.
