Nana's Curry Chicken Wings
Every Christmas Eve, the family would gather at Nana's house. Instead of a big sit-down meal, there was a buffet laid out on the dining room for dinner - a meal composed entirely of appetizers. a few years before Nana passed away, I called her to ask for a couple of her recipes. The Curry Chicken Wings were something I looked forward to munching on every year. Was ever surprised to hear her recipe over the phone... It wasn't exact at all. Maybe once upon a time, she had a precise recipe... but by the time I asked about them she wasn't worried about exact amounts of anything. Her instructions went like this...
Well - get some fresh chicken wings.. depending on whos coming you may want more or less. Then for every so many (I narrowed her down to 'maybe 8' decent sized fresh wings; these are whole wings, not just the little drumettes sold in the frozen section) you'll want some butter... not margarine, that just doesn't work right but you could use it I suppose. Put a couple of tablespoons of butter along with about a half a cup of honey on the stove and melt it down. Then put a couple of good spoonfuls of dijon mustard in it. Once thats all heated and melted down, make sure its spreadable or you'll need more butter. Add a tablespoon or two of curry to the mix. Taste it, you'll know when its enough. Once thats mixed and spreadable you can start the chicken. The chicken will stick to the pan, so you might want to use a spray on the pan. place the wings out so they aren't touching. Baste everything with the spread. Bake a bit, then take them out and baste again. Then cook some more, then if not done, baste them again and bake until done. Oh, and be careful they get dark if the temperature is too much.
So I tried it... Just like she said. They do stick to the pan. I cook them about 350 degrees, cause she never really said what temperature and i was so distracted with the casual instructions I forgot to ask. They are good, and they do say Christmas Eve to me. Then I got adventuresome and made the glaze on Chicken thoighs... which was also good. So have some Curry Chicken Wings and enjoy!
