This is the perfect dish for DVD night. The boy got caught
in a rain shower on the way home and is soaked. He doesn’t think this is as
funny as I do. The chicken will cheer him up.
500g chicken wings
Juice of 1 lemon
1tsp paprika
2tsp chilli flakes
Salt & pepper
A good glug of olive oil
2 waxy potatoes
Dried thyme
If you can find Turkish chilli flakes, use them. They’re
called Pul Biber and are a dark red colour. The flakes are rubbed in olive oil
and are not as hot as regular chilli flakes. Marinade the chicken wings in the
oil, lemon juice, paprika, chilli and salt and pepper for as long as you can.
When you’re ready, peel the potatoes and chop them into 2cm
cubes. Put them into a baking tray and sprinkle with a little more olive oil
and some dried thyme. Place the chicken
wings on top.
Get the oven to 200 and bake for 10 minutes. Pull the tray
out and loosen any potatoes that have decided to stick to the bottom. Lower the
heat to 180 and cook for another 20 minutes. Check everything is cooked and crispy
– if not give it a bit longer.
Sweetly the boy has changed into pyjamas. It’s movie night
after all. This is finger food so we’re serving with garlic bread and Little
Gem lettuce dressed with mustard vinaigrette; the leaves left whole so they can
be picked up.
