Tags: Coconut Chicken Wings
I love chicken wings! Usually I just chuck them in the oven after marinading them in the fridge for a while. But this method gives so much more flavour however and finishing them by frying in a little oil makes them really crispy.
To start you'll need:
About 500g of chicken wings
Put them into a flat bottomed bowl and put the following ingredients in along with them:
3 Kaffir lime leaves or zest of one lime
1 red onion, sliced
1 x 5cm piece of ginger
2 x sliced green chillis
1 tsp tumeric
Put over a medium heat for about 30 minutes or until the wings are completely cooked. Remove the wings from the pan and place on a plate covered with some kitchen roll to cool and dry out a little. At this stage I made some ciabatta with garlic butter and herby tomatoes.
Now I don't own a deep fat fryer but if you do you can finish them off in this. You only need to cook them in oil for a couple of minutes until the wings have crisped up a little. If you don't heat some oil in a deep sided pan until it reaches a temperature of about 190°. If you don't have a thermomater, drop a small chunk of bread into the oil. If it crisps up straight away the oil is hot enough.
Pat off with some kitchen towel and enjoy after a long week with a glass of your favourite wine ♡ we had ours with some bruschetta & garlic bread #carbfest
