Banana Garlic Chicken Wings With Tropical Creme Dipping Sauce And Sweet Plantains Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken wings in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place flour in a shallow platter and season it by adding paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to incorporate, then dredge the wings in the flour.
• Heat oil in a skillet and brown the chicken wings on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a platter. Add the pepper flakes, bay leaf, lemons, garlic, oregano, sherry, and chicken broth to the pan.
• Cook for 2 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes, or braise in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the cilantro sprigs, garlic, chicken broth and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a blender and puree. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup and add enough water to make 3 3/4 cups liquid.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the cilantro puree and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
• Spread the plantains on a baking sheet and bake until heated through, 15 minutes. Stir the chopped cilantro into the rice. Top with the plantains.

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients with a handheld blender. Pour marinade on top of chicken wings, mix, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• While the chicken wings are marinating, prepare the sauce: Chop banana and add the rest of the ingredients. Process with a handheld blender until smooth. Transfer sauce into the fridge to let the flavours "marry".
• Preheat oven to 200°C Place chicken wings in an oven proof dish (or a lined cookie sheet) and dab with paper towel to remove excess marinade. Bake for 10-15 minute or until done. When done, add a sprinkling of salt, if you prefer.
• Serve with banana and curry sauce.
