Your Complete Cooking Timeline
Step 1 is all about preheating. Get your oven set to 400°F (200°C) so it’s nice and hot ready to crisp that bacon once your wings are pressure cooked.
Step 2 you mix all your marinade ingredients. Chili garlic paste, rice wine vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, chopped garlic and finally that sesame seed oil. Stir it till it’s all good and combined.
Step 3 toss your wings in the marinade bowl real good. Make sure each piece is coated with all that spicy garlicky goodness. This helps flavor sink in deep.
Step 4 wrap each wing with a half slice of bacon. If it tries to slip off, just stick a toothpick in to hold it tight like a little flavor package.
Step 5 now place those wrapped wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wire rack. That way the bacon gets crispy all around.
Step 6 bake the wings in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. You watch for bacon crispy and the chicken fully cooked through. Let cool a bit then get ready to dig in.
Smart Shortcuts for Busy Days
