Whether over sports or as a yummy snack, wings are always a favourite choice snack. However, most recipes involve frying the wings, which are already a fatty chicken portion.
Instead, here is a modified recipe to get the delicious taste of wings, with less guilt on the fat content.
Remember that the chicken needs to marinate for at least two hours before being cooked so that the flavour seeps into the meat.
Be warned that because they are very delicious, you might have to prepare a big batch!
Ingredients
- Four tablespoons of red chillies, finely chopped;
- Three tablespoons of fruit chutney;
- One tablespoon of olive oil;
- One quarter cup of fresh lemon juice;
- Three tablespoons of salt;
- Sixteen chicken wings.
Method
1. Prepare the wings by washing and separating the drummets and the wings, getting rid of the boney tip of wings, which can be thrown away or kept to use for chicken stock. Salt them with one tablespoon of the salt in a bowl.
2. Make the marinade by placing the chillies, olive oil, lemon juice, two tablespoons of the salt and chutney.
3. Pour the marinade onto the wings and rub onto the meat with your hands and leave the wings to marinade in the fridge for at least two hours.
4. Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees celsius and place the wings in a baking casserole dish.
Cook for 30 to 40 minutes turning after the first 20 minutes to a golden brown until the wings are crispy.
Ensure that the wings stop dripping blood.
