Weber Seared Chicken Wings with Chakalaka & Chilli-Salsa

View fullsize

“Recently, I always take the chicken wings off the roast when serving my portion, small juicy and something to bite on. And so the idea of a Weber starter tasting, to feed the hunger pains, of Weber seared Chicken Wings with Chakalaka and Chilli-Salsa is something I know I would be taking more than two to nibble on.”

Weber Seared Chicken Wings with Chakalaka & Chilli-Salsa

Ingredients & Method:

• Chicken Wings, take the “thigh and calf” part of the wing (discard the extra little piece) cut between the joints and with the back of your knife push all the meat to the knuckle bone making a bulb or bulge of meat. So for every chicken wing you would have two little chicken sticks.
• Leave overnight in lemon juice, olive oil and chopped Rosemary.
• Grill on the Weber grill until ready and serve with Chakalaka and Chilli-Salsa as a little starter snack a dipping treat.
