Garlic Chili Wings

Ingredients:

2 lb chicken wings
1 cup Bonsecco olive oil
4 tsp orange blossom honey
4 dried chillies
4 tsp chicken choice, unground
30 dried garlic flakes
5 small, thin slices ginger
5 discs lemon
10 sprigs cilantro  

Preparation:

In a large bowl make the marinade of olive oil, honey, chilli's, chicken choice and garlic slices. Crush the herbs in the marinade with the convex side of a spoon. Cut the ginger slices into very fine cubes and put them together with the lemon slices and 6 sprigs cilantro to the marinade. Crush the ginger and lemon so the juices mix well in the marinade. Dry the chicken wings with paper towels and place them in the marinade. Rub the marinade into the chicken wings. Allow to marinate at least 60 minutes in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the chicken wings on a cooking sheet until they look golden brown. Remove the chicken wings from the pan and place them in a baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken wings and place the dish in the oven for 15-20 min. Serve the chicken wings in a bowl and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Garnish the chicken wings with the remaining cilantro leaves. Serve as a snack or as a main dish with fries and a salad.  Preparation time 95 minutes.  Serves 4.
