Chicken wings and potato salad with broccoli & cauliflower

Chicken Wings Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 12 chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional for sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for a savory kick)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven or Grill

1. Preheat the Oven: If you’re baking the wings, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Preheat the Grill: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2: Season the Wings

1. Season the Chicken Wings: Pat the wings dry with paper towels. This will help them become crispy when cooked. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. For extra flavor, drizzle honey and soy sauce if you like.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken Wings

1. Oven Method: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown. You can also broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes to get them extra crispy if needed.
2. Grill Method: Place the wings on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they are evenly cooked. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Serve

1. Serve the Wings: Once cooked, let the wings rest for a few minutes, then serve hot. You can also serve them with dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or your favorite hot sauce.
