Guilt Free Chicken Wings

Well it seems that we shouldn’t postpone posting a post.

Keep it fresh and honest like your food and you’ll have a perfect meal…or post.

I’m very happy I’m active again and with the great weather now in Abu Dhabi it is a pleasure to ditch the treadmill and go outside enjoy some fresh air. I’ve been going to a boot camp for the past 3 weeks to get back in shape or to be absolutely honest to enjoy a guilt free meal. You’d expect the exercises to get easier with time since you’re getting stronger, but no it gets even harder and longer. The best way to get results out of your training is a trainer … leave it up to him to decide if you can make these extra 100 abs.

But nothing beats a good meal after a long exercise … and what’s better than some sweet baked chicken wings.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

2 packages of fresh chicken wings (about 12 to 14)

2 Crushed garlic cloves

3 tablespoons steak sauce

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1-teaspoon fish sauce

1-tablespoon honey

1-tablespoon tomato sauce

1-teaspoon brown sugar

Juice of one lemon

Chopped fresh chives

Chopped fresh coriander

2 tablespoon of olive oil

Salt and pepper

Pickled jalapeños

Position your oven rack making sure your cookie sheet is in the middle of the oven.

To ensure an even flow of heat around the wings while you bake them.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees while you are preparing the chicken to bake.

Wash the wings with water and vinegar. Make sure to get all of the feathers left behind from the processing plant because there is something that is quit unappetizing about feathers sticking out from the bird you are about to take a bite of.

Rub the wings with the garlic. Poor all the ingredients over the wings, make sure to cover all the chicken wings real good. Leave to marinade for an hour in the fridge.

For baking spread the wings on your cookie sheet leaving enough space between each wing for it to cook properly it is ok if they are touching but don’t pile them. Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until brown and crispy. The key to great chicken wings is a crispy skin but you don’t want to overcook them because the wings will dry out. Make sure to flip them half way through the cooking to get and even color.

To serve garnish with freshly chopped coriander and some green onions

Mmmmm Enjoy
