This roasted chicken wings with roast potatoes, oregano, and garlic recipe delivers crispy, flavourful chicken and golden potatoes. Perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings!
It's the first recipe we've made out of Jose Pizarro's Basque: Spanish Recipes from San Sebastian and Beyond book and it's delicious! It's been made at least 3 times now…and we're thinking we'll try the marinade on a whole spatchcock chicken.
Tips
- The recipe is really simple, but note that the wings need to be marinated for 12 hours, so best to do step 1 the day before. Once the wings have been prepared and marinated, all you need to do the next day is boil the potatoes and then everything goes in the oven. Time now to make some more tapas dishes!!
- Vegetarian option - replace the chicken wings with marinated tofu or roasted vegetables while keeping the same seasoning.
- Herb variations - replace oregano with rosemary, thyme or Italian seasoning for a different flavour profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
