pan-african-wings-with-peri-peri-sauce

These wings are a part of my soulful sunday series — celebrating everything black & delicious. I wanted to create a dish that celebrated the rich diversity that is Africa & a culinary poem unifying it in one bite ✊🏾 These Pan-African wings include spices from all over the continent featuring Nigerian crayfish powder, Cameroonian poivre de penja & dark muscavado sugar from Mauritius. They're air-fried to perfection then tossed in a savory, spiced palm oil. Instead of a butter-based sauce, I mixed a bit of the spice rub with palm oil, creating another ode to Africa. And of course, wings aren't complete without a dipping sauce. Included in the recipe is a 10 minute peri-peri dipping sauce. If you've had a traditional peri-peri sauce, my rendition packs a little less heat. I wanted to ensure that the flavor of the wings could shine through.
