Cheese and Chive Chicken Wings with Homemade Fries

How do you like your chicken wings cooked and served? Do you only ever eat them from fast food outlets? This is an incredibly easy way of cooking chicken wings at home and by combining them simply with a little bit of cheese and chives, they are granted an altogether different but appetising flavour.
 

Ingredients per Person

4 large chicken wings
1 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt
2oz cheddar cheese
1 tsp chopped fresh chives
Portion of homemade fries (optional)

Directions for cooking wings

Note that if you are making homemade fries, they will be required to be started well in advance of cooking your chicken wings.

Put your oven on to preheat to 400F/200C.

Pour the olive oil in to a large bowl and season well with salt. Stir to combine before adding the wings and carefully folding them over in the oil a few times to get them well and evenly coated. Lay the wings on a roasting tray and pour over the remaining oil. Cook in the oven for thirty minutes.

 
Take the tray from the oven and set aside to let the wings rest for five to ten minutes.

Grate the cheese and add it to your (washed and dried) bowl. Chop the chives and stir them in to the cheese.

Lift the chicken wings one at a time with cooking tongs and add them to the bowl with the cheese and chives. Carefully fold to melt the cheese over the wings.

Lift the wings with the tongs to a serving plate and serve immediately, with or without the fries.
