Roast Chicken Wings and Salad Appetizer or Starter

Oven roasted chicken wings are served with a simple salad as a starter/appetizer

Chicken wings can be made in to a wide variety of tasty starters or appetizers - and the dishes prepared need not be complex, allowing you that little bit of extra, valuable time to concentrate on your main course. This recipe is (I think) attractive in terms of presentation and ultra tasty, yet can be prepared with very little hands on cooking time required.

Ingredients per Person

2 whole chicken wings, tips removed
Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
2 generous handfuls of mixed salad of choice (this is sliced radish, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and lettuce)
2 rolled and shredded basil leaves to garnish

Chicken wings are coated in seasoned vegetable oil for roasting

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400F/200C/Gas Mark 6. Pour the vegetable oil in to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Turn the wings in the oil to evenly coat. Lay on an oven tray and roast for thirty minutes. Take them from the oven and rest for ten minutes.

Mixed salad is carefully washed under running cold water

Wash the salad in a colander under running cold water. Shake dry.

Salad is laid as a bed in a serving dish ready for chicken wings

Season the salad and lay it in the base of an appropriate dish. Sit the chicken wings on top and garnish with the shredded basil.
