Baked Chicken Wings, Cajun Roasted Potatoes and Spicy Pineapple Salsa
Chicken wings are an all-time favorite, and there’s no better way to elevate them than by adding a touch of spice and sweetness. In this recipe, oven baked chicken wings with Cajun roasted potatoes and a jalapenos and pineapple salsa create a mouth-watering combination.
The salsa is made with juicy pineapple, ripe tomatoes, pickled jalapenos, and a blend of spices that includes cloves, onions, paprika, and cumin. The result is a spicy, sweet salsa that perfectly complements the crispy and tender chicken wings.
The jalapenos add a kick of heat balanced out by the sweetness of the pineapple. Serve the chicken wings with some Cajun baked potatoes on the side for a perfect blend of flavors that will leave your guests asking for more.
Directions:
1. Prepare the salsa: cut the vegetables into large chunks and mix them with the spices and olive oil.
2. Put everything in the oven at a high temperature (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully roasted.
3. Remove the vegetables from the oven, put them into a blender, and pulse for a few seconds, just long enough so that it resembles a chunky sauce. It’s ok to have different-sized pieces. Refrigerate.
While salsas are typically served cold or at room temperature, some people prefer them warm and that’s totally fine.
4. Season the wings with salt and pepper and bake in a lightly oiled pan for 45 minutes at 180°C.
5. Peel and dice the potatoes. Put them in another pan and add the Cajun seasoning and olive oil. Place the pan in the oven at the same time as the chicken wings to have everything ready at the same time.
Enjoy!
