Game day oven baked chicken wings and plantains! Sometimes you just want to gather with your favorite pals, turn on the TV and be loud.  Be it game day or lifetime movies ( I can’t remember the last time I watched a lifetime movie). You just want great company, people you love being around and forget you have something going on the next day.

Nothing brings people together better than food. And these spicy wings and plantains is all you need. Crispy, tender and finger licking delicious.

In under forty five minutes you’ll get every one  ooooing and ahhhhing with their first bites. Do make a big platter if you can, I promise there will be no left overs.

The Simple dry rub for the chicken uses basic pantry ingredients and Essiespice Mekko Dry Rub. In the Absence of the dry rub, use a little more garlic powder, and half a teaspoon each of ginger and ground dry roasted peanuts.

Plantains

Simply fry them! You can grill for a healthier fare. Right off the fryer, toss a pinch or two of kosher salt for that sweet and salty wonder. You can use plantains at any level of ripeness, its just preference. For a sweeter taste, the skin will be yellow with some black spots. They turn to soak up a little more oil if they are too ripe. The best in my opinion is when they are just ripe and a little soft to the touch. You’ll  appreciate that crispy warm bite.

Grab some napkins and have at it. Nothing should come between you and this platter.

Be it a night in with the fellas or movie night with your gals; you sure will have something delicious to feast on. Make sure you try our game day oven baked chicken wings and plantain recipe. We would love to hear what else from the afrovitalityats kitchen makes it to your dining table.
