Treat your chicken wings to the craveable flavors of Suya Spice – a seasoning blend already made popular by West African Street food. Always made with ginger, hot chilies and ground, roasted peanuts, it brings a welcome boldness to chicken wings when combined with lemon and oil in this tasty marinade. Grilled until crispy and glazed with a honey-Suya mix, these wings are spicy, smoky, peanutty perfection.
Test Kitchen Tips:
• Suya Spice Blend is a staple seasoning in West Africa, especially in Nigerian cuisine. It is a flavourful dry rub typically made with a base of crushed or powdered peanuts and spices like ginger and cayenne. The nutty, fragrant blend is commonly used to season beef and chicken skewers but is also great for lamb and fish. It can be used in marinades, sauces, and dressings, as well.
• Substitute jumbo shrimp in place of the wings for finger-licking West African-Inspired Peel-and-Eat Shrimp.
• Grill red pepper strips, just until charred, and toss with the wings to add some colour and crunch.
