Ultimate Garlic Chilli Scallion Chicken Wings Recipe!
My blog is back! It’s been almost five months since I had to suspend my blog due to the cedi depreciation which rendered subscriptions pricey and draining on me. For a minute i considered shutting down the blog but my passion for writing and documenting prevented me from taking that action. This led me to starting a fundraiser for my blog which I hope you’ll be a supporter of.
Back to this recipe which I know is a gamechanger for you as a movie night snack or premier league game day snack 😃! Do i hear a hallelujah?
Chicken wings used to be that rejected part of chicken served as a portion for children only. I remember how my Mom would either serve us this or the scrawny neck of a chicken whilst my Dad got the thigh and other more luscious parts. Today, chicken wings is a premium meat globally in restaurants and even a whole box of which costs more than frozen chicken thighs! Wonders they say, never ends.
I love the simplicity of this savoury and spicy chili mix oil. I find so much flavour dwelling in the simplest foods. The ingredients are easy to find in any local market or supermarket. Gone are the days when you’d complain of not being able to try a recipe because of lack of acess to ingredients.
