(Learning) Smokey Chicken Wings And Roasted Sweet Potatoes


To help you manage the Christmas Day and ensure you entertain with a smile and also enjoy your day,here is one food item you can prepare in advance of Christmas Day ….Smokey Chicken Wings


I love charcoal roast chicken but sometimes the trouble of lighting the grill puts me off so I fall back to my oven . The secret here is to place the chicken on the oven rack so the oil can drip onto the oven tray and smoke flavour the chicken.


For the Sweet Potatoes, I simply wash the potatoes with the skin on and place it in the oven tray so the chicken oil drips on it whilst it bakes. These baked potatoes are so yummy with the chicken.

Recipe

8 Chicken Wings
4 Cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Dry Pepper( less quantity if you like mild hot)
1 handful Parsley ( about the size of 1/2 a computer mouse)
1 finger Fresh Ginger( size of your middle finger)
2 Seasoning Cubes
Salt to taste
1-2 cooking spoons Vegetable oil



Method

1, Rinse the chicken wings , sprinkle on about 1/2 teaspoon salt,and put in a strainer to drain out the  water
2, Blend the garlic, ginger,pepper,parsley, oil seasoning into a smooth paste. Your may wish to drop a little water to help grind the seasoning mix into a smooth paste.
3,Pour paste over chicken and rub in thoroughly  and leave to marinade for about 1 hour.
4, Heat oven  about 10 minutes before chicken is ready to go into oven
5, Place Chicken on oven racks and roast for about 40 – 45 minutes or until brown and cooked through.



Cooking Tips:

1, You may need  to sprinkle the rest of the seasoning mix left in the bowl on top of the chicken as it roasts.
2, Turn the chicken half way through roasting so it browns well on all sides
3, As this cooking is a smokey affair, keep doors from the kitchen to the rest of the house closed so the whole house is not smelling smokey
4,To prevent your hair taking up the smoke also, tie a scarf to cover your hair whilst checking the chicken in the oven.
