Chicken Wings

Preserved Lemon Tzatziki Ranch

Method

Chicken Wings Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken wings and mix until they are evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare to Bake or Fry

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking. If frying, prepare a deep fryer or large pot with oil heated to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Cook the Wings

    If baking, place the marinated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and cooked through. If frying, fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Pickled Turnips Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Pickling Solution

    In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  2. 5

    Pickle the Turnips

    Place the sliced turnips and beetroot in a jar. Pour the hot pickling solution over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.

Herb Salad Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine the Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped parsley, mint leaves, diced cucumber, and diced tomato.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then toss to combine.

Tzatziki Ranch Preparation

  1. 8

    Mix the Tzatziki Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, finely chopped preserved lemon, and dill. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 9

    Season the Tzatziki

    Season the tzatziki with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as desired.
