Jawaneh

Jawaneh (grilled Chicken Wings) in Arabic "جوانح" is a delicious dish that can be grilled or baked in the Oven.

Ingredients:

• 8 big chicken wings or 12 small ones
• 8 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon, or to taste
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper
• pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
• salt to taste

Preparation:

• Rinse the chicken wings in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

• Put the crushed garlic in a large mixing bowl and stir in the olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings. Add the chicken wings, coat them well with the marinade and leave for an hour, turning them over occasionally.

• Grill or barbecue the wings, for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they are nearly charcoaled and crispy. Alternatively you can bake them for about 30 minutes in a hot oven, turning them over halfway through, so that they are crisp on both sides. Serve hot with a garlic dip.
