Spicy Chicken Wings Served on a Peach, Avo, Mint & Basil Salsa

Peaches, Shawn Godfrey aka The Roasted Dad

Serves: 4
By braaing the chicken wings, and then marinading them in a potjie pot, you get both the Smokey flavours and tender fall-off-the bone hot wings!

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • 1 cup mango achar (if you like your wings really hot
  • use Hot Atchar)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 50ml sriracha

Salsa

  • 3 ripe peaches
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 red onion
  • 20g fresh Basil
  • 20g fresh Mint

Method

  1. Marinate the chicken in the achar for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, in a sealed container.
    Prepare a medium to hot fire and then braai your chicken.
  2. Set aside the achar, you will still need this later.
    Mix the achar, mayonnaise and sriracha sauce and place into your potjie pot.
  3. Once the chicken is nicely browned (grill lines / charring adds to the flavour) then add it to the potjie pot.
  4. Keep the coals on low and slow and cook for 20-30 minutes or until tender and close to falling off the bone.

Salsa

  1. Dice the peaches and avocado into roughly 1cm cubes. ⁠
  2. De-stalk the herbs and then fine chop.
    Finely dice the onion.
  3. Season with salt and black pepper and then mix gently.

Assemble your dish by placing a good 4-5 tablespoons of salsa and the 4-5 wings on top.
