Roasted Chicken Wings

Okay so this is my first post on this blog, and I intend to fill it up quite a bit.

Anyway, this is one of my favorite low-cal recipes. While finalizing on this recipe, I took in tastes and flavors from a bunch of places, most significant of which was the Spicy Chicken Wings from Slice of Italy, Delhi. This is really simple, and, quite honestly, very difficult to screw up. Here’s what you need:

For 1 Person:

Chicken Wings (Obviously) – 6

Grated/Shreded/Chopped Garlic – Half-Tablespoon (More if you love Garlic, I use an entire tablespoon)

Dried Oregano – Half-Tablespoon

Chilli Flakes – Half-Tablespoon (More if you like it hot)

Salt – To taste (I use half a tablespoon)

Vinegar – 1 1/2 Tablespoon

Olive Oil (Preferably Extra Virgin) – 2 Tablespoons (You could use normal oil, but I am a HUGE fan of Olive Oil)

Black Pepper – 1/2 Tablespoon or to Taste

1. Mix everything except the chicken together in a large bowl. Make sure everything mixes really well. I mix everything in the olive oil first and then put in the vinegar. Oh, and the smell of the marinade before you put in the vinegar is AWE-SOME. Take a wiff!
2. Dry out the Chicken wings before you use them. Wash them, put them on a dry cloth and wipe the water off them. Take a big bowl, put in the Chicken Wings and pour over the marinade.
3. Here’s where it can get a little messy, but you still can’t mess it up. Mix the chicken wings and the marinade really well. I’d say rub each piece with a tad bit of the marinade.
4. Cover the bowl with foil or cling film or a plate. Just make sure it’s covered and then put it into the fridge.
5. Pre-Heat the Oven to 220 degrees celcius and let her rip.
6. Take the chicken wings out of the fridge and line them up on a rack (the oven Grill Tray with the gaps in the middle)
7. Put the rack with the chicken wings on it into the oven and let the wings cook for 20 minutes. Check on the wings after 15 minutes to see the progress. You’ll know when they’re done when you see a brownish layer on the Chicken Wings. Pull out a small piece of the meat and taste it to see if it’s done.
8. Pull ’em out of the oven and you’re done! Enjoy!

You could grill the Chicken Wings if you are lucky enough to posess one. But remember to make some extra Marinade without the vinegar and rub it on the wings while you grill them.

You could also pan-fry them using a non-stick pan but they tend to dry up a tad bit once done.
