Roasted Chicken Wings with Roast Potatoes, Oregano and Garlic

This is the first recipe we’ve made out of Jose Pizarro’s Basque: Spanish Recipes from San Sebastian and Beyond  book and it was yum!   It’s been made at least 3 times now…

Tip

• The recipe is really simple, but note that the wings need to be marinated for 12 hours, so best to do step 1 the day before.  Once the wings have been prepared and marinated, all you need to do the next day is boil the potatoes and then everything goes in the oven.   Time now to make some more tapas dishes!!
