baked chicken wing, orzo pasta

This dish is not only tasty also a low cost meal, and a balanced meal in every way.

 

Chicken wing is cheap , certain super market sells a good meaty and trimmed wing.

I usually make this serve with, rice, cool cucumber salad and kmchi but I've found orzo pasta at the supermarket , I made this, it was as good as with rice. dinner for 4 cost just under £7 !!

In a big bowl, mix all marinating ingredients, and our on to chicken wing and mix well. leave in the fridge over night or at least 4 hours to marinate.

If you like spicier, add 2tsp of chilli paste.

Spread silver foil in the roasting tin and put marinated chicken cover with silver foil, roast 40 minutes

in the oven, 170c and off the cover another 30 minutes until brown like grilled , but make sure not to burn.
