No marinade for those just a light brush with olive oil or mustard on just as a binder for the spices I add. I then sprinkle with SPG (Salt, Pepper, Garlic).

 

The other thing I do, which I've found makes them plump up a bit and keeps them nice and juicy during the cook, is before putting the oil or mustard binder on & spices on I boil water then pour the boiling water into a bowl where I've put the wings until they're covered. Let them sit in the hot water for 5 mins. Then pull them out and put the binder on then spice them. 

 

Give that a try sometime, no matter what your cooking method is. I think you'll like the result. It takes out some of the grease from the fat layer under the skin yet premiates the meat keeping it moist through the cooking process. I use just med. heat - nothing super high heat as that dries anything out.

 

I find the biggest issue people have with wings is over-cooking them to be safe with the internal temp. I never use a meat themometer on my wings and have never had any issues with food poisioning. A little pink on meat close to the bone is not an issue in my experience. Pink but not blood red!

 

(Just a note: I would use a little mustard as a binder for the spices rather than oil if cooking in an oven - for safety reasons there'll be no mustard taste after cooking if you use just a thin coating painted on with a basting brush).

 

 

That sounds great!  I don't do grilling, but my husband does, so the next time we have wings, I will have him do it that way.

Are you vegan or cooking for someone who is?  

Tonight was a light, summer evening meal. Twin Lobster Rolls.

 

Fresh lobster from Atlantic Canada cooked yesterday and chilled in the fridge. Then chopped into chunks with some chopped green onion & celery all mixed together with a little mayo, salt & pepper and served on a bed of romaine lettus in a lightly buttered and toasted bun.

 

Quite tastey 🤤

That looks delicious @Reciprocity😃

I'm sort of involuntarily vegan. For medical reasons I can't eat meat or chicken, or dairy.. I can have egg, some fish (flathead, whiting, barramundi) and most shellfish. I also have to low or no gluten. 

I still cook meat for others and stare at it longingly.

Some food I've been cooking for friends...

 

Greek marinade char grilled prawns with honey roasted feta and flat bread.

 

Chagrined Barra Cutlet with lemon roasted, rosemary smoked potatos, green beans and fennel, tangello and feta salad.

 

Brunch...

Mushies and fried eggs on toast with air fried potatos..

 

Everything looks delicious Jo, you are some cook!!😀

So here's a pictorial progression of my bacon wrapped scallops ... with chunks of pinapple that I made the other day.

The pinapple chunks add a nice flavour to the combination of scallops & bacon but if you use a dip for the scallops before eating them, the pinapple doesn't usually go well with most seafood dips so ... pick your poison

@Reciprocity the pineapple curry dip from the 70s would work great with this... or just sweet chilli sauce.

Everything looks great as well @Reciprocity  I love scallops wrapped in Bacon and the pineapple gives them a great flavor.
