Island Chicken Wings

• From: Eat Chicken

Ingredients

• 8 chicken wings

• 1 4 oz can diced green chilies, drained

• 1/4 cup chopped onion

• 1/4 cup golden raisins

• 2 Tbs apricot preserves

• 1 Tbs brown sugar

• 1 Tbs lemon juice

• 1/4 tsp ground allspice

• 1 large banana, peeled and cut into chunks

• 1 Tbs garlic oil

A dipping sauce of pureéd green chilies, apricot preserves, allspice, and bananas bring a bit of island flavor to the garlicky wings.

Directions

• Cut off wing tips; discard or save for other purposes. Cut remaining wings apart at joints to make 2 pieces each.
• To make dipping sauce, in blender, combine chilies, onion, raisins, preserves, brown sugar, lemon juice, allspice and banana; purée.
• In large skillet, heat garlic oil. Cook wings for 18 to 20 minutes or until well-browned on all sides and internal juices of chicken run clear. Meanwhile, pour sauce in small saucepan and cook uncovered over medium heat for 10 minutes to thicken liquid; stir frequently.
• Sprinkle wings with salt and pepper. Serve with dipping sauce.
