Baked Chicken Wings, Cajun Roasted Potatoes with Spicy Pineapple Salsa
Description
The dish includes chicken wings seasoned simply with salt and black pepper and baked in a lightly oiled pan until cooked through and tender. At the same time, diced potatoes are tossed with olive oil and Cajun seasoning, then roasted to crisp outside and soft inside. The pineapple salsa is prepared by roasting pineapple, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeños, garlic, onion, and spices at high temperature until caramelized, then blended briefly to keep a chunky texture. The salsa adds a sweet and spicy contrast to the savory wings and potatoes.
This combination offers a one-pan roasted chicken dish paired with spiced potatoes that bring warmth and depth from Cajun spices. The salsa provides a bright, tangy, and spicy element that cuts through the rich wings and earthy potatoes, making the meal well-rounded and satisfying. Cooking components simultaneously in the oven allows for practical timing and flavor development.
Ingredients
Oven Baked Chicken Wings
- 600 g chicken wings
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Jalapeno & pineapple salsa
- 400 g pineapple
- 5-6 tomato
- 1 bell pepper
- 40 g jalapeños pickled
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 onion small
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- salt
- black pepper
- 30 ml olive oil
Cajun Roasted Potatoes
- 600 g potato
- olive oil
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the salsa: cut the vegetables into large chunks, mix them with the spices and olive oil, and put everything in the oven at a high temperature (200°C or 390°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully roasted.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven, put them in a blender, and pulse for a few seconds, just long enough so that it resembles a chunky sauce. It's ok to have different-sized vegetable pieces in your sauce. Refrigerate.
- Season the wings with salt and pepper and bake in a lightly oiled pan for 45 minutes at 180°C (355°F).
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Put them in another pan and add the Cajun seasoning and olive oil. Place the pan in the oven at the same time as the chicken wings to have everything ready at the same time.
- Enjoy!
