Berbere Spice Chicken Wings Recipe By Tasty Food

CRISPY BAKED WINGS WITH BERBERE HONEY GLAZE AND FRIED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Pat the wings very dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. Stir together the baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, coriander and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the wings and toss well to coat. Arrange the wings, fatty-side down, in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, then turn the wings over and bake until golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 more minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drain the wings on paper towels and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the fried garlic: Smash each clove of garlic, then peel and finely chop. Add the vegetable oil and garlic to a small skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the garlic is lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and continue to cook until the garlic is completely golden, 1 more minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve; remove the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
• Make the berbere honey glaze: In a small pot over medium-low heat, warm the vinegar and honey until the honey is loose and less viscous. Whisk in the berbere and cook over low heat until evenly distributed and heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Toss the wings with the glaze and fried garlic before serving. Top with chives.

• Add tomato paste and berbere spice and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes., stirring often.

BERBERE SPICED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Season both sides of chicken breast with salt. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon berbere spice mix to coat both sides of chicken breast (see Cook's Note for recipe link).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to turn brown. Immediately transfer chicken breast to skillet; cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a warm dish.
• Stir in lime juice, tomato paste, chicken broth, and coconut milk; stir to deglaze pan. Bring to a simmer while stirring. Add 1/2 teaspoon berbere spice and a pinch of salt. Transfer chicken breast back to skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce starts to reduce, basting chicken with pan juices as it cooks, 4 or 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with a drizzle of the pan sauce.
