Asian Baked Spicy Wings and Potatoes

I am drooling here, just thinking about the flavor of these wings. They were delicious and this is a great Asian sauce for the coating. Its Sticky, Sweet and Spicy and Finger Licking Gooooood.

I always have a standard set of Asian Condiments in my kitchen and you can made a million dishes with variations of these ingredients. Ok not a million, but a lot of them.

Ingredients:
Marinade:
Dark Soy Sauce - 1 Tbsp
Rice Vinegar - 1 Tbsp
Hoisin Sauce - 2 Tbsp
Chili Garlic Sauce - 1 Tbsp
Honey - 1 Tbsp
Salt and Pepper - a pinch each
Sriracha Sauce - 1 Tbsp
Sesame Seeds - 1 Tsp

Salt and Pepper to Season the Chicken
Corn Starch -  2 Tbsp
Chicken Wings - 1lb
Potatoes - 2

Wash and clean the chicken Wings and Cut the Potatoes into Wedges.

Season the Chicken with the Corn Starch, very little Salt and Pepper.

Season the Potatoes with very little Salt and Red Chili powder.

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade. 

Pre-heat over to 425F. In a baking pan, line with foil and place the potatoes on the foil.
If you have a grilling rack, place this on the pan and place the chicken wings and place in the oven. If you don't have the rack, you can place these in the pan next to the potatoes.

The rack is the best for chicken, since the juices from the chicken would drip on the potatoes and make them really yummy.

Bake for 10 min, remove the chicken and brush with the marinade. Move the potatoes around.
Place back into the oven and bake for 5 more min.. Brush again, turn and bake on the other side for 5 more min. Remove and top with some sesame seeds and green onions.

Serve with Ranch Sauce and some Carrots and Celery.

Easy Homemade Naan without Yeast

Her's an easy and simple recipe for naan. I saw several recipes that call for yeast, but this just uses curd or yogurt and the result is a really soft and tasty naan. I prefer the homemade one to the frozen naan that we get in stores.

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour/Maida - 2 Cups
Baking Powder + Baking Soda - 3/4 Tsp each
Salt - to taste
Sugar - 2 tsp
Yogurt - 1/2 Cup
Milk - 1/2 Cup
Oil/Butter - 2 Tbsp

For Toppings:
Sesame Seeds, Crushed Garlic, Cilantro, Melted Butter

Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix well. The mixture will be a bit sticky. Cover and set aside for 3 to 4 hours. Make tennis ball sized balls and roll into triangle or circles.
Top with Sesame Seeds, Garlic on one side. Turn and apply water on the other side and place this side on a pan and press gently. Place on a medium flame on the stove top for a minute. Now turn the pan so that the naan is directly on the flame and move it around so all the parts get the flame.

When it starts to char and there are air pockets, remove the naan. Top with melted butter and Cilantro and serve with a gravy of your choice.
