Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings

One of the things for our get-together is always Chicken Wings! We have this on numerous occasion – simply because it is easy to prepare and loved by most friends.  That’s why I labelled such entries as My Chicken Wing Series.  Yes, prepared a lot of this.  I mean the Chicken Wings.  Tried and tested more than 20 recipes over some period of time.  Too bad that during half of my trial and error heydays, the Camera phone was not in the market yet and a Digital Camera is damn expensive.  Otherwise I could have hundreds of entries by now!  (Yeah, I wish! Macam lah aku ni rajin sangat.  Nak siapkan satu entry pun makan minggu. Hehehe)

Kerana itulah, a few weeks ago .. the external hardisk yang aku simpan thousands and thousands of my photo collection for a decade went berserk,  leaving me only with less than 20 photos.  Amek kau! Suka sangat tangguh kerja.  Sudahnya dapat blank page jer.  Hard lesson learnt! Nasib baik gambar kenangan family and stuff aku simpan kat different domain.  Kalau tak maybe 13 hari aku meraung!  At times aku tengok kecik besar, kecik besar jer aku external hardisk tu.  Kalau ikut hati nak jer aku buat resepi hardisk goreng! Abadikan dalam blog.  Sentappp!!

Bahan-bahan:

1 kg Chicken Wings (Separate Winggette dan Drummetnya)

1 sudu teh Oregano kering
1 sudu teh Rosemary kering
½ sudu teh  serbuk jintan putih
1 sudu teh garam
2 sudu makan minyak (kalau nak macam orang putih sikit 2 sudu makan mentega yang di cairkan)
2 sudu makan daun selasih (cincang)
3 ulas bawang putih (cincang)
¼ cawan keju parmesan yang di parut (beli yang dah siap parut pun boleh)

Cara-cara:

Panaskan oven 200 darjah celcius

Dalam mangkuk kecil satukan oregano, rosemary, jintan dan garam
Aturkan Kepak Ayam atas baking sheet dan taburkan rempah di atasnya
Bakar Kepak Ayam selama 25 minit
Agak-agak ayam dah nak masak tu, campurkan bahan bahan lain di dalam mangkuk besar
Bila kepak ayam dah masak, masukan ke dalam campuran  parmesan cheese dan ‘toss’ (lambung-lambung atau macam tampi tu hah) supaya ayam bersalut dengan keju tu

** Siap untuk di hidang **

Kepak Ayam Bakar Gula Perang

Korang suka makan pizza hut punya Chicken Wings tak? Perhaps your little angel? Tapi mahal kan? Jangan risau saya ada penyelesaiannya!  (Perghhh rasa macam buat voice over untuk iklan detergent pulak).  

Bukan setakat tu aje, kalau buat sendiri, you could always adjust to your liking.  Hmmm .. yang paling seronok, resipi ni sangat simple! So simple that you could almost do this sambil meniarap.  Hahaha.

Sebenarnya, bila basuh and re-arrange fridge, aku ternampak SriRacha Hot Chilli Sauce yang aku gunakan untuk buat poh piah basah hari tu.  Agak lama juga dalam simpanan.  Sebelum ToH ‘perli menusuk’, lebih baik buat sesuatu.  Takut nanti aku yang naik hantu.  (Tiba tiba teringat semalam buat jus raspberry ngan blackberry yang masam teramat.  Tapi telan jugak, sebab sendiri yang nak sangat beli masa ke Bukit Indah last week).

This recipe is called for a few simple ingredients and is perfect for a family gathering.  Korang boleh bakar guna oven atau kalau ada satay griller tu pun boleh jugak guna.  Perfect for barbecuing for a picnic! To make it more irresistible, kita tak payah perap, coat and ready to grill.  Bahan gaul pulak, some portion of it, kita guna untuk pencicah atau sos.  2 in 1!

Apa yang korang perlukan adalah:

250gm sos tomato (maggi will be a perfect choice)
80 gm gula perang
1 sudu makan cuka
1 sudu makan SriRacha Chilli Hot Sauce
1 sudu makan kicap
½ sudu serbuk jintan putih
2 kg kepak ayam (potong bahagian drummet and wingette, buang hujung yg tajam tu.  Kang tercekik pulak anak anak kita)

Apa yang korang perlu lakukan?

Campur semua bahan kecuali kepak ayam.  Gaul dan kacau sehingga gula hancur.  Asingkan 1/3 untuk dipping sauce.  Yang selebihnya gaulkan dengan ayam

Panaskan oven pada 200 darjah celcius.  Boleh panggang diatas baking sheet atau aluminium foil untuk 30 minit (balikkan selepas 15 minit).  Tapi, kalau korang nak garing or rangup2 sikit, korang boleh bakar atas cooling rack atau redai tu hah.  Kalau nak buat BBQ, bakar jer atas pembakar sate , balik balikan sehingga masak.  Lepas tu boleh curahkan sos atas ayam, atau just taruk dalam mangkuk and cicah. 

**Cuba dulu yer? Then you can say… Pizza Hut punya Chicken Wing is so going down…**

Ayam Belacan Goreng Terendam (Deep Fry Shrimp Paste Chicken)

This is a specialty of ToH! I made this a couple of times too, but since ToH mastered it, why should I dirty my hands in the kitchen when I can indulge in my novel while ToH is working on it kan? This recipe is super simple and is loved by many! 

Kak Lynn(yes the lazy one!) would go thru all the trouble to go to the supermarket and buy the chicken wings whenever we suggested making this recipe. The best part of all is that we don’t have to spend a single cent, as Kak Lynn will always be happy to sponsor. The only thing that we need to contribute is preparing and cooking it. But heck! Prepping time would only take about 10 minutes and 1 hour of refrigeration once the wings are marinated and then off to fry! We could eat this by it’s own or with steaming hot rice and veggies. Best to do when you’re short of time and there are ad hoc guests visiting. 

In my earlier entry (Nasi Kerabu A’la Mek Som), ToH prepared this as the side dish. We had 20 pieces of Chicken Wings and 5 invited guests as "testers". Guess What? Both the Sambal Nasi Kerabu and 20 pieces of Chicken Wings were gone in a flash. I don’t know whether to be happy or to be scared. Happy that they love it, or scared because I’m not sure what sort of creatures I have invited into the house?! Haha. 

All you need to have is just:

20 pieces of Chicken Wings. Separate the drummet and wingette and cut the tip off 

4 tablespoons of wheatflour 

10 cloves of garlic (crushed and minced) 

2 tablespoons of Pepper (you can also use black pepper if you want) 

5 tablespoons of powdered prawn paste. (If you can’t find these at your store; you can make your own. Fry the prawn paste on your wok without oil and keep on stirring until it crumbles then dry out and becomes powder) 

Salt to taste. 

How to:
In a bowl, toss your drummet and wingette with all the ingredients except flour.
Once all is coated, add flour and toss again.
Refrigerate at least an hour before deep frying.
You can also add in 2 lightly beaten egg whites if you wish.

** Happy Trying! **
