Chicken wings with adjika

Adjika, a paste of herbs, spices, capsicum and tomato, hails from Georgia and is a delicious way to add flavour to meat at the start or end of cooking. Here we use it as a marinade on chicken wings.

“My friend Renee Trudeau introduced me to this intriguing spice paste, which she came across on holiday in Georgia,” says Brigitte Hafner. “It’s kind of a Georgian harissa, and can go over meat once it’s been roasted or grilled or can be used as a marinade. It’s quite spicy and completely delicious. Thanks Renee!”

Extra-virgin olive oil and lemon wedges, to serve
