Why Peri Peri

Our Peri Peri Seasoning is handcrafted in small batches in Tasmania. It’s smoky, citrusy, and fiery enough to excite the tastebuds – but balanced so it never overwhelms.

A Few Serving Suggestions

Serve with a cooling yoghurt dip (use coconut yoghurt for a dairy-free option).
Add chips or a crisp salad for a full meal.
Pair with cold drinks at a weekend BBQ.

Notes

Marinate overnight for a deeper flavour.
Bake for convenience, or BBQ for extra smokiness.

Substitutions

Swap wings for drumsticks or thighs.
Use lime instead of lemon.
Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chilli flakes for those who like it extra hot
Swap olive oil for avocado oil if preferred
Extra lemon slices for serving

How to Make Peri Peri Chicken Wings

Step 1: Prepare the wings

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and Peri Peri Seasoning. Toss wings to coat.

Step 2: Boost the flavour

Marinate at least 30 mins (overnight if possible).

Step 3: Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 4: Bake Until Crispy

Bake for 35–40 mins, turning once, until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy!

Once golden and crisp, remove from the oven and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Final Tip

For even crispier results, try air-frying the chicken wings at 200°C for 25-30 minutes. Just be sure to shake the basket often and keep a close eye at the end.
