Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 6 pieces chicken wings or drumettes Look for plump pieces with no blemishes.
  • 2 tbsp honey Opt for pure honey for richer flavor.
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce Consider gluten-free soy sauce if needed.
  • 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
For the Sides
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 2 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cooked beetroot, diced
  • 1 cup mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
  • 4-5 slices fried plantain
  • to taste salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, black pepper, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.
Cooking the Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the potato wedges with salt, thyme, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. Cook the marinated chicken wings or drumettes in a skillet or bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, brushing with extra glaze halfway through. Ensure the skin is golden brown.
Preparing the Sides
  1. Steam the rice and fry plantains until golden. Mix diced beetroot with salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Plating
  1. Serve rice topped with the crispy chicken, roasted potatoes, fried plantains, diced beetroot, and salad for a colorful presentation.

Notes

Marinating overnight deepens flavor. To ensure crispy skin, broil the chicken at the end. Check doneness with a thermometer for safety.
