Ethiopian Chicken Wings Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 cup butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and tomato paste; stir until hot, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining butter, berbere, garlic, and ginger. Adjust heat to low and cook until mixture thickens to paste consistency, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stir remaining water into berbere paste; add chicken. Simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 45 minutes.
• Stir white wine, cardamom, and black pepper into the sauce; add hard-boiled eggs. Cook until sauce is reduced slightly, about 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Place chicken wings and onion in a soup pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). While the wings are cooking, combine the soy sauce, cinnamon, cloves and ginger in a saucepan, and warm over medium heat. When chicken is done, drain water (may be reserved for other uses as a broth), and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir to coat all of the wings, then place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the outsides are crispy. Baste with sauce as desired while cooking.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the paprika, salt, cayenne, fenugreek, ginger, onion powder, cardamom, nutmeg, garlic powder, cloves cinnamon, and allspice. Mix well.
• Save two tablespoons of spice mix. Set aside.
• Add the chicken drumettes to the bowl with the spice mixture and toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the fridge at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the marinated chicken. Toss them until well-coated.
• Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
• Place the chicken on a wire rack set over a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 30-40 minutes or chicken is slightly browned.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the reserved 2 tablespoons spice mix and stir to combine.
• Drizzle the spice butter mixture over the drumettes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat over to 325F, 160C or Gas Mark 3.
• Coat the drumsticks or thighs in the peanut oil or melted butter.
• Mix all the spices together in a small bowl.
• In a large bowl mix half of the spice mix with the chicken, then arrange the drumsticks in a casserole dish lined with enough foil to make a package. You will be cooking these covered most of the time.
• Sprinkle more of the spice on the drumsticks. You can use all of the spice mix or stop whenever you want.
• Fold over the foil to seal up the chicken and bake for 90 minutes.
• At 90 minutes open up the foil packet to allow the chicken to cook uncovered. Continue cooking for at least 15 minutes but I recommend longer, 30 - 45 minutes.
• To serve, baste with the sauce from the pan and squeeze some fresh lime juice of the chicken right before you serve it.
