Description
These wings are the perfect picnic food or Friday night supper. They are super quick to make and they get baked in the oven which makes them a healthier option then fried chicken wings.
Ingredients
- The quantity of spice is good for about 2kg of chicken wings.
- 2 teaspoons chermoula mix optional (a North American spice)
- 1½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 3 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons garlic flakes
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 4 tablespoons paprika
- ½ cup of olive oil
- 250ml oil – sunflower, corn oil or a cooking olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon mustard – I use Dijon mustard
- ½ lemon juiced – use to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- sugar to taste
Instructions
Place the egg yolks, vinegar and mustard in a mixing jug. I find that a tall jug works best as you get less mess then a bowl when mixing.
Using a stick blender, give it a good whisk. The gradually add the oil in about 3 or 4 batches whisking well between each addition of the oil. The sauce will thicken nicely.
Once all the oil has been added, taste the mayo for a seasoning check adding salt and pepper. I like to add a little sugar or xylitol , no more then a ½ teaspoon. This really finishes the mayo off and balances the flavour, however you can leave it out if you desire.
If the mayo becomes too thick simply add a little water to loosen it.
To the above recipe add 3 tablespoon of Sriracha sauce or any tasty hot sauce in the fridge.
This is a rough guide. If you fancy a smoked paprika or a more cumin flavour feel free to play around. The main idea is to get a good spicy flavour with some texture to cover the chicken.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC
Place all the chicken in a large bowl and rub ¼ cup of the olive oil into the chicken. This will make the chicken moist and allow the spice to stick to it.
Put all the spices into a mortar and pestle and give it a good grind to crush the coriander seeds.
Dip each chicken wing into the spice making sure to cover it well.
Lay the chicken wings onto a tray and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
Bake for 30-40 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they can burn. Cut a wing open to check if they are cooked.
