Best Chicken Wing Salad With Toasted Garlic Vinaigrette Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut tops off of garlic bulbs. Brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes., Squeeze softened garlic into a blender. Add the vinegar, water, sugar, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining oil; cover and process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GARLIC-OREGANO VINAIGRETTE AND GRILLED FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine garlic, vinegar, oregano, parsley, honey and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and process until emulsified. Stir in the red chile flakes.
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until a paring knife inserted comes out with some resistance. Do not cook the potatoes all the way through because they will continue cooking on the grill. Drain well and when cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise.
• Heat the grill to medium.
• Brush the chicken and potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue grilling until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. A few minutes before the chicken has finished cooking, place the potatoes on the grill, cut-side down and cook until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling about a minute longer. Remove the chicken and potatoes to a platter and immediately drizzle with the roasted garlic-oregano vinaigrette. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with oregano sprigs and parsley sprigs.

CHICKEN-WING SALAD WITH TOASTED GARLIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or preheat a broiler; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Put olive oil in a narrow saucepan and add garlic. Turn heat to medium-low and when garlic begins to sizzle, swirl pan occasionally so the garlic rolls about in the oil. When garlic is lightly browned and tender (a thin-bladed knife will penetrate easily), turn off heat.
• Combine 2 tablespoons garlic oil with cayenne and a big pinch salt; toss wings in the mixture. Grill or broil, turning occasionally (do not scorch), until wings are crisp and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, once oil has cooled, put it in a blender with the garlic, a pinch salt and vinegar. Blend until smooth; if too thick, add a little more oil, some hot water or, if it is not bright enough for your taste, more vinegar. Toss with greens and black pepper. Serve salad and chicken wings together.
