Garlic chicken wings with Parmesan cheese

garlic chickenwings with parmesan

Small warning in advance. These wings are called garlic chicken wings. These chicken wings are therefore flavored with garlic. A lot of garlic.

Very tasty as far as we are concerned. But still, you are warned. We are going to smoke the garlic first, so the sharp taste is gone, but the smell is not. So make sure everyone eats it. Otherwise, you might get complaints.

bulb of garlic ready to smokeSmoking garlic is an effortless job. Cut the head of the knob and place it in a little bowl made of tin foil. Then pour a little olive oil over it. The bowl makes it easier to move the knob of garlic without getting olive oil everywhere.

bulb of smoked garlicThe cloves must be soft when tested with a toothpick. You can smoke the knob of garlic long in advance. The smoked garlic has a good shelf life in the refrigerator.

garlic marinade for chickenwingsMake a paste of 6 cloves of smoked garlic, coarse salt, and chili flakes. The salt not only ensures the taste but also makes it easier to make the garlic into a paste. You can make the garlic paste a little thinner with a dash of olive oil. This makes for a perfect marinade.

chickenwings in garlic amrinadeYou put the chicken wings, together with the garlic marinade, in a ziplock bag. We always ensure that we have these ziplock bags in stock. And then in different sizes.

butter for meltingThe chicken wings are well on their way when you see bubbling under the skin. You still can measure when you want to be sure. The core temperature must be at least 80°C (175F), but more preferably, 85°C (185F).

Now you will say, “The save temperature of cooked chicken is 70°C (160F), right?” You are absolutely right. But we find the meat from the fattier parts of the chicken such as the wings and the legs tastier if you cook it a little further.

Place a pan with some butter on the barbecue next to the chicken wings to melt.

paste of smoked garlicIf the wings are cooking, then you can make the sauce. We use a clove of smoked garlic as a start. You don’t need a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic. You can easily mash a clove with the side of a large knife.

garlic mayonaise for garlic chickenwingsThe sauce is easy to make. With a few large spoons of mayonnaise, lime juice, and a clove of smoked garlic, you can make a delicious fresh sauce. Mix it with a little olive oil when the sauce is too thick, and you are done.

freshly grated parmesan and parsleyDo not buy pre-grated Parmesan cheese, but grate it yourself. That is much tastier. Instead of Parmesan, you can take any hard, salty cheese such as a Grana Padano, Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano. The parsley/cheese ratio must be approximately the same.
