Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan). Line a large baking tray with foil, then top with baking paper for easier cleanup.

In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.

Pat the chicken wings dry and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle over half of the seasoning and toss well. Add the remaining seasoning and toss again until the wings are evenly coated.

Pour the garlic butter over the seasoned wings and toss until all pieces are lightly coated.

Arrange the wings on the prepared tray in a single layer, skin-side up, leaving a little space between each piece so they roast rather than steam.
