SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

These deliciously sticky bites will appeal to adults and children alike, although younger eaters might prefer a little less chili powder.

INGREDIENTS
8 plump chicken wings
2 large garlic cloves, cut into slivers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper
lime wedges, to serve

SERVES 4

1. Using a small, sharp kitchen knife, make one or two cuts in the skin of each chicken wing and slide a sliver of garlic under the skin. Brush the wings generously with the olive oil.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the paprika, chili powder and oregano and season with plenty of salt and pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss together until very lightly coated in the mixture.

3. Cook the chicken wings on a medium grill for 15 minutes, until they are cooked through and the skins are blackened and crisp. Serve with fresh lime wedges.
