2tablespoonsof minced/grated garlic( about 5 cloves)
1teaspoonof cumin
2teaspoonsof oregano
1/2teaspooneach of salt and pepper
2teaspoonsof chilli flakes(more or less to taste)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the chicken wings with the salt, pepper and olive oil. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake them until cooked through—15 mins.
In a large bowl, mix the Fanta and remaining ingredients. Mix them well.
When the chicken wings are done and while they’re still piping hot out of the oven, throw them in the Fanta mixture and toss well.
Pour the chicken wings and Fanta mixture back on to the same parchment lined baking sheet and bake for another 15-20 mins until all the moisture has evaporated, the chicken is sticky and golden.
Serve the chicken wings with a sprinkle of orange zest and cilantro leaves.
**To serve the chicken wings in Fanta cans, take a can opener and use it to open the Fanta cans at the top all the way through. Empty the Fanta drink and set aside—you don’t need to wash them at all! When the chicken wings are done, stack them in the cans and serve.
