Calypso Chicken Wings Recipes

CHICKEN CALYPSO

Steps:

• In a large container, combine the chicken breasts, thyme, vinegar and a 1 crushed garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well, cover and marinate in a cool place for 5 hours.
• Drain the chicken breasts thoroughly.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick cooking pot over medium heat. Melt the brown sugar in this oil, then brown the chicken breasts on high heat, turning them regularly. Remove the chicken breasts and set aside.
• Deglaze the juices of the saucepan with the wine and half a glass of water on medium / high heat. As soon as bubbles first appear, lower the heat to maintain a small boil.
• Add the chicken breasts, and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken is tender.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into a frying pan and, without waiting for the oil to warm, add the cashew nuts. Fry them for one to two minutes or until they get some color.
• Remove the cashew nuts with a skimmer and place on a plate lined with paper towel. In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil and cook the onion, the remaining garlic clove, the fresh ginger and the mushrooms over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and their cooking juices.
• Whisk the flour in 3 tablespoons of cold water and pour over the chicken. Mix well. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Serve with rice.

CALYPSO WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Season chicken wings with all purpose seasoning and set aside. Combine all other ingredients to prepare marinade. Marinate chicken for 20 minutes. Grill wings over medium heat for 15 minutes, about 7 minutes on each side. Baste chicken with remaining marinade. Serve chicken over grilled pineapple slices.

JAMAICAN CALYPSO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Drain the juice from the pineapple chunks into a zip-lock bag big enough to hold the chicken. Reserve the pineapple to add later. To the juice add rum, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, garlic, ginger, cloves and red pepper flakes. Stir or mush up the bag to blend.
• Add the chicken, turning to coat well. Place in refrigerator skin side down to marinade for 3-6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375*. Saving the marinade, remove the chicken and place skin side up in a shallow baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, basting often with the pan juices and leftover marinade for 30-35 minutes.
• Add the reserved pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges to the pan and bake 5-10 minutes more - until the chicken is no longer pink near the bone.
• Serve the chicken with pan juices basted over, along with the fruit. I like to serve this over rice (especially coconut rice). You can garnish with sliced lime for presentation.
