Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Refrigerate the marinating chicken wings for at least 1 hour, or for the best flavor, marinate them overnight. Turn the wings occasionally to ensure they absorb the flavors evenly.4. Preheat the Grill or Oven:
Depending on your cooking method, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F/190-200°C) or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Grill or Bake the Chicken Wings:If using a grill: Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are fully cooked with a nice char on the outside. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
If using an oven: Arrange the marinated chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are cooked through and golden brown.6. Garnish and Serve:
Once cooked to perfection, remove the chicken wings from the grill or oven.
For an extra touch of freshness, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
