Ingredients:

Instructions:

  2. Refrigerate: Seal the marinated wings in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Let them sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours to absorb all the tangy, spicy goodness of the mee siam paste.

  3. Preheat the Oven: About 10 minutes before cooking, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.

  4. Bake the Wings: Place the marinated chicken wings on a lined baking tray. Bake them at 200°C (400°F) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
