Place them in a pre-heated oven

We usually just throw ours on at around 220C convection to get it heated quickly.

Just ignore the chicken hairs, Portugal is a bit rugged like that. Extra protein.

Serving Suggestion

For a super simple meal, serve alongside some greens like this arugula, and with a side of fresh fruit like grapes. If you have a nice roll, even better!

Our Review — Worth Buying?

Would we rebuy Aldi Hot Wings again? Yes! These wings are super tasty, the seasoning mix is nice, and they are such an easy protein to cook when you’re in a hurry or multi-tasking.

Ideally you would just buy plain fresh wings and toss them in our own preferred seasoning mix, but let’s be real — sometimes you just want to throw something in the oven and walk away with no extra steps or dishes.

You know it’s true.

The wings have a nice spice without being too spicy.

Pro Tip: After eating the wings, toss the bones into a container and stick them in your freezer. When you have enough, make a quick chicken stock / bone broth with them!
