Spicy lemon chicken wings

Thinking about Mr Javis and his lemon experience, here the appropriate recipe 'stolen' to my friend Marta from our recipes blog.


















Ingredients
6 chicken wings (free range)
2 teaspoons of honey
2 garlic cloves
2 very ripe lemons
2 small red chillies
Oil
Salt


For the wings: wash the wings under running cold water and get rind of any feather that may still be found on them. Get rid of the excess water and put them in an oven tray sprinkled with a generous spoonful of olive oil. Season and set aside until the sauce is ready.


For the sauce: in a bowl, mix together the honey, the juice of the 2 lemons (don't thow away the shells of the lemons you use, as you will nedd them to finish the dish), the garlic cloves thinly sliced and a teaspoon of olive oil. Mix everything very well until all is perfectly amalgamated. Set aside.


Take the two chillies and cut them lenghtwise in about 4 strips each. Cut one of them in very small dices and add them to your sauce, so that tehy can give it a lovely spicy twist. Mix well and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Note: the recipe suggests that you get rid of the chilly seeds but if you like a slightly stronger spicy punch, you can add them to the sauce


Once the sauce is ready, mix it again so that the honey doesn't stick to the bottom of the bowl and pour it over your wings. Add the shells of the used lemons and the strips of the secodn chilli as guarnish and put everything in a hot oven (about 200 degrees) for abuot 20 minutes or until the wings turn golden.


Serve hot as perfect finger food.
