Fanny's Baked Chicken Wings

Ingredients:
600g chicken wings
1lt water
2 cloves garlic, bruised
1,5 cm ginger, bruised
Salt and pepper to taste (only a little bit)

Marinade:
2 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chicken stock powder
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves stripped from stem
2 tbs olive oil
Salt and pepper (i used about 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper)

•  In a pot, add the chicken, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper and 1 litre water. Bring it to boil and reduce heat to low, cook for about 15 minutes. Remove chicken wings from the pot and set aside to cool down for about 10 minutes or so. 
• In a resealable plastic bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken, seal and carefully mix until the wings are evenly coated. Marinate for about an hour in room temperature. 
• Preheat oven to 210 ˚C (oberhitze/ api atas), line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the wings not too close to each other so they brown evenly. Save the remaining marinade to pour over the wings before flipping. Cook for about 13 to 15 minutes on one side, remove from the oven, spoon a little bit of marinade sauce over each wings, flip them and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.   

Note: If you think the remaining marinade is not enough to spoon over each wings, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix it well.
