chicken wings with lemon, black pepper and bay leaves

We are summoned to a supper party tonight where we must bring a dish.  We’ve not been very well all week, and so no shopping has been done, thus a rummage in the store cupboards and freezers was required.

There were two packs of chicken wings (10 wings in all) in there, so here’s what I did:

Put them in a shallow dish, and anointed them with lots of olive oil, the juice of a lemon, lots of black peppercorns – crushed, not grated – and about a dozen bay leaves from my lovely bay tree.  I left them to marinade for about an hour, then put them on a metal tray and baked them at gas 6 / 200˚C for about 50 minutes.

Simples, as the meerkcat would say.  But delicious and good for a party, as it’s finger food.

However, there were far fewer chicken bits than I thought, and it looked a bit spartan, so I had to have a think about something else to take.  That’ll be the next post, any moment now!
