BBQ chicken and spicy potato wedges
I'm an online recipe-aholic. I really am. Baking blogs and general cooking blogs are my drug of choice at the moment and I shall sporadically post me favourite recipes.
This is my favourite comfort food and I hope you enjoy.
Time: 1 hour, start to finish
Cost: under £5
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
BBQ Chicken
Chicken wings(2-3 wings per person)
Tomato ketchup
Olive oil
Worcester sauce
Sugar
Mixed herbs
Cayenne pepper
Salt
Pepper
Potato Wedges
Potatoes (Depends how hungry you are, I usually do 3 between two people)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Paprika/Cayenne
Mixed herbs
Oregano
Garlic salt/Dried garlic
Lets get down and dirrrty:
Plop a good amount of ketchup into a large bowl. when I say good, I mean about 1 and a bit tea mugs full. Drizzle olive oil on top until it feels right (about 2 tbsp probably) and add a big pinch of sugar (that would be a 3 finger and a thumb pinch). Splosh on some Worchester sauce now, about a tbsp, and then add a sprinkling of mixed herbs over the surface, a small pinch of cayenne (to taste) and then salt and pepper to what you think is right.
This isn't rocket science people.
Plop the wings in the sauce and let it marinade for as long as you can. Be this 5 minutes or overnight. Place in a baking dish/roasting tray, sauce and all and bake in the over for about 30-40 minutes. Baste with any remaing sacue at about halfway and they should look like this when done:
If you're not sure, dig into one and check that the flesh is white, very hot and there aren't any pink juice running anywhere.
Whilst these are cooking, move on to the potato wedges.
Take a potato. Isn't it a comforting vegetable? So versatile and tasty...
I digress however. I tend to leave the skins on but that's up to you. Cut them in half lengthway, and then half again, and then in half again so that you have 8th-ed your potato lengthways. Place these on a baking sheet and drizzle liberally with olive oil (1-2 tbsp) and now it's time to get creative. This is my personal preference but tbh, you can add what you like. My only comment would be don't forget the salt as otherwise they're pretty tasteless no matter what you put on them.
Sprinkle on and all over the potatos your spices(in this case, paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, mixed herbs and organo) and then rub and mix all the potatos and goodness together with your hands to get them all evenly coated.
Place these in the top of the over for about 1/2 an hour until golden brown.
With practice, these will come together and be cooked at the same time so you can enjoy them and revel in the beauty of these. Enjoy and have fun with them!
