I love chicken wings. My whole family loves chicken wings. We eat them at least once per week. The trick to enjoying chicken wings and actually having them consumed by your children is...simple ingredients. I love a spicy wing smothered in Frank's Red Hot or honey garlic sauce as much as the next gal. My kids, do not. Let's face it, sauce can be added after the fact! Throw the Red Hot, the BBQ sauce, the honey mustard on the table. Whatever your pleasure. Encourage your kids to try different condiments; be aware, however, that they often add unnecessary sugars, sodiums and calories to your wings, an already fatty cut of meat. This is a Wednesday night meal...not a Pub Fest! Simple ingredients are good for your body, easy to digest and healthy for you and your family.
In this recipe, I'm featuring my favourite olive oil. We have a local oil store, Soffrittos, filled with wonderful ingredients delicious food and oodles of excellent service. I just love stopping in for a visit and can't live without their garlic olive oil!
Wednesday Wings
Ingredients:
Garlic Olive Oil
(this one is a free pour...as much as you like! My recommendation is be generous).
3 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper
A handful of thyme
One club pack of chicken wings
Preheat your oven to 400 F
Separate your wings removing the tips (set those aside for a quick chicken broth http://melsbigideas.blogspot.ca/2017/02/?m=0)
from the drumette and the wingette.
Add your separated wings to a cookie sheet. Crush three cloves of garlic, free pour your garlic olive oil over your wings, add sea salt and pepper and hand mix to gently coat. Place the seasoned chicken wings into the oven for 15minutes. Flip and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. If you require more of a crisp on the skin of your wings, broil for and flip for 2-3 minutes. When you remove from the oven sprinkle with thyme and serve.
