Cajun Chicken Wings preparation instruction:
Defat the chicken wings by
cooking them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Drain and set aside to
cool. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a large
mortar and pestle, grind
together the bay leaf bits, caraway seeds, cayenne
pepper, coriander,
cumin, garlic, mustard, paprika, thyme and salt for
about 10 minutes. Add
the brandy and lemon or lime juice to the pulverized
herbs and stir into
a thick paste. With a pastry brush, cover both sides of
each wing with
the herb paste. When no more remains in the mortar, squeeze
the last few
drops from the brush. Arrange the chicken wings on a baking
sheet. Bake
until the skin turns deep brown and is quite crisp
approximately 30
minutes. Takes about an hour to prepare.
