Preparation of Orange Chicken Wings

  • First, remove any feather stubs present on the chicken wings. You can do this in two ways: plucking them with tweezers or singeing them over the stove flame. 

    Then wash them and dry by patting with paper towels.

  • Wash one orange very well and cut it into chunks.

    Squeeze the juice of the second orange.

  • Pour the juice into a small bowl, add a teaspoon of red vinegar, the leaves of one sprig of thyme, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper, and emulsify everything with a fork.

  • Season the orange pieces gathered in a bowl with this vinaigrette and set aside.

  • Place a sprig of rosemary on the chicken wings and wrap them with a slice of bacon.

  • Then brush the wings with a little oil.

  • Place the wings inside a pan without overlapping them and without adding any seasoning.

  • Cook them over medium heat for about 15 minutes, turning them often.

  • Then add the orange pieces with all their juice and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or so. The orange chicken wings should be well browned. Adjust the salt, if necessary.

  • When cooking is finished, turn off the heat and immediately serve the orange chicken wings, nice and hot. Enjoy! Paola
