We all have the go-to meals that make us feel good, right?

Well, spicy scrumptious Chicken Wings made with love, is just the perfect happy meal for my husband and I.
There's just that satisfying feeling of having tender juicy chicken wings in my our mouth. Could it be the feel of the meat on the bone? Is it the size of the wing compared to other parts of the chicken? Or is it the look of it?

Whatever it is, these wings sure make us wanna fly.

Just like the lyrics of "Regine Valasquez"

..." Together flying high
Flying high upon
The wings of love"


My chicken wings are fiery, herbaceous, and tender; With oozing juices, so there's no need to add a dip. The marinade infused in the chicken makes these chicken wings lip-smacking, finger-licking good.

Speaking of licking...These wings are the perfect Valentine's treat!

I love simple meals that are delicious, and my chicken wings were the first cooked meal that my husband and I enjoyed in the early stage of us dating; So this is just one of many simple little things that bring back precious memories, and make us celebrate our time eating them, together.


What makes my Wings of Love:

I cook my meals with available herbs and spices, so although the taste is always different, they are always guaranteed to be exceptional; simply because they're cooked with love and diligence.

  • 1 kg Chicken Wings
  • 6 gloves garlic, minced
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp All Purpose Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Chicken Seasoning
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot Pepper Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Wholegrain Mustard
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Seeds
  • 1 tbsp Pimento Seeds
  • Chilli Flakes (to suit taste)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Dried Mixed Herbs (to taste)
  • Dried Basil (to taste)
  • 4 Irish Potatoes (wedged) Remove skin if you like
  • Malt or neat Vinegar (optional)
  • 1 lemon (optional)

Other suitable herbs: rosemary, thyme, or herbs de province.

Step one

273451562_664626441521245_8531630104676963102_n.jpg


  • Rinse Chicken Wings with vinegar or lemon if you prefer (vinegar was used today)
  • Pat dry Chicken with paper towel

I like to season my meat in layers, so I add each ingredient separately instead of mixing them all together and coating it, especially at the start.


  • Add salt, black pepper and chilli flakes
  • Add All Purpose seasoning
  • Mix ingredients to coat chicken

I particularly like this All Purpose Seasoning that's GMO and MSG FREE!

I use a garlic press to crush the whole coriander and pimento seeds. Please use a grinder if you have one


These are the liquid portion of what makes up the marinade, that will be all mixed together

  • Massage the mixture into chicken to coat all over

This food looks delicious, I will try it at home. Thank you @millycf1976 for sharing this recipe! ❤

Hello @devyswan1, you're very welcome. I hope you could try it one day:)

This recipe has got me drooling so bad 😩 Gotta try this out for sure someday.

Thank you:) Yes, it's so delicious. Nothing fancy, but an absolute treat.
Definitely give it a try!

I just had chicken wings with my pals @millycf1976 😁
Can't get enough 😊😉

We absolutely love chicken wings. We used to have buckets of wings from Red Lizard in Ayala. My husband and his mate would order all chicken wings stock from the kitchen🤣

Wow! Really? Never had chicken wings at Red lizard though. I must try 🥰

You'll love them, and they have an assortment of dips. I particularly liked the green dip :)

Oh, hmmm now I have a new place to go to. The one in Ayala is close so I will go to IT Park for that 😊

Oh, so could you ring them before to find out if they do the wings too? The wings were so popular that they required us to make reservations for the wings:)

Yes I can do that, I can call them before going to IT Park. 😊

😊 Enjoy 😋

Hey, happy lovely day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌸

This dish is my mom’s fav! 😍 your dish looks delightful!

❤️ Hey, thanks for your lovely comment, and a super day to you too ❤️❤️💐

😊 Chicken wings are AWESOME 😍😋, wish I could share these with your mom :)

Thank you❤️🌸 wish you have great time there

🤗

The game changing ingredient here is the whole grain mustard 😍 I can already imagine how it would taste!!

YES! or dijon...You are spot on!
I would have added more mustard for my personal taste, but that's all I had left:)
Thanks for dropping by, have a nice day 😊

Try Kasundi Mustard next time if its available there, It's an Indian mustard variant and it’s so damn good!

Oh, I like the sound of that mustard. There's a shop that sells everything from around the world, so I think I'd definitely find that mustard in Leicester. There's a huge Indian population there.

Oh that’s perfect you have to definitely try it then 😍

Yes, for sure:)

Hi @millycf1976! These wings look delicious, they are full of flavor. I really like the use of spices, they certainly add depth and richness to the flavor. I sometimes macerate them in advance in beer and different spices and some vegetables, such as onion, garlic, chili peppers, leek. Your photos look great, thanks for posting in the community. Regards.

Hello @sirenahippie, thank you for your kind feedback and nice suggestions of ingredients😊
Yes, onions, spring onions, fresh thyme, and if I'm lucky scotch bonnet peppers, are some spices and vegetables that I always include.
I love the sound of beer though. Beer is something that I would have to sneak into my cooking because my husband is addicted to beers.
I sometimes add wine (white wine for my chicken and pork s=dishes, and red for my beef dishes). All these add depth as you've said.
Thank you regarding the photos too.
I was hesitant to add this recipe, because it's nothing fancy, but then decided that was probably a reason to do so.
We can create magic with very little sometimes, and these wings did just that for us.
Thank you so much for dropping by, have a lovely day:)
