Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken wings — Make sure to separate the skin from the meat carefully to create a pocket for the stuffing without tearing the skin.
- Ground beef and pork — Use lean ground meat for a healthier option, or opt for a fattier blend for a richer flavor.
- Smoked paprika — If you prefer a milder smoky flavor, you can use regular paprika instead.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
- Serve the Soulful Stuffed Chicken Wings with a side of creamy coleslaw to balance the flavors.
- If you prefer a crispier skin, broil the chicken wings for a few minutes after baking.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, either cold or reheated.
Serving advice
Serve the Soulful Stuffed Chicken Wings as a main course alongside your favorite Soul food sides, such as collard greens, mac and cheese, or cornbread. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Soulful Stuffed Chicken Wings on a platter, showcasing their golden brown exterior. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top for an elegant touch. Serve with a side of coleslaw and cornbread for a complete and visually appealing meal.
