Lemon Rosemary Chicken Wings

This is a very delicious recipe of chicken wings which will make your dinner a real feast. The poultry soaks with orange flavour and fresh rosemary and gets incredibly herby with piquant citrus flavour. The recipe is simple, practical and doesn’t take much time to cook. While the chicken wings are roasting in the oven, you can cook any garnish to them like mashed potatoes, bulgur or polenta. By the way, you can also roast chicken drumsticks or thighs. They are equally tasty.

Steps

1. In a bowl combine salt, caster sugar and black ground pepper. Add grated or minced garlic cloves.
2. Pour orange juice, soy sauce and olive oil in a bowl.
3. Mix marinade until smooth.
4. If you use frozen poultry, you should take it out of the freezer in advance and thaw it. Wash chicken wings and drain them from extra water at room temperature . If there is a bottom bone on a wing, cut it off. Put prepared poultry into a bowl with marinade and leave it for minimum 30 minutes and even more.
5. Then put chicken into the fireproof tin. Pour it over with the rest of marinade. Cut an orange into some pieces and add them to the chicken wings together with rosemary sprigs.
6. Place tin with the chicken into pre-heated oven at 400 °F and roast them for 30-40 minutes pouring it with marinade from time to time until golden brown.
7. Serve the dish hot. Rice or mashed potatoes will go perfectly as a garnish. Bon appetit!
