Baked Chicken Wings, Cajun Roasted Potatoes with Spicy Pineapple Salsa
This meal features oven-baked seasoned chicken wings paired with Cajun-spiced roasted potatoes and a spicy pineapple salsa. The salsa is made by roasting pineapple and vegetables with spices, then pulsing to a chunky sauce, adding smoky and sweet heat. The potatoes are diced and roasted with Cajun seasoning and olive oil, complementing the tender baked chicken wings seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Together they create a balanced plate with savory, spicy, and fruity notes.
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!
