juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper
pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

3. Grill or barbecue the wings, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they are nearly charcoaled and crispy. Alternatively you can bake them for about 30 minutes in a hot oven, turning them over halfway through, so that they are crisp on both sides.
