  1. CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towel. Place on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Pop in the oven and roast until cooked through and starting to crisp, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. FLUFFY BULGUR

    Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 150ml of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside.

  3. PRESTO, IT’S PESTO!

    In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche with ½ the pesto and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.

  4. LOAD WITH FRESH FLAVOUR

    Rinse, pick and finely chop the mixed herbs and the picked basil. When the bulgur is done, toss through the diced cucumber, the lemon juice (to taste), the spring onion whites (to taste), the diced tomato, the chopped herbs, the drained feta and seasoning. Set aside.

  5. BRING ON THE BASIL

    When the wings are done, toss with the remaining basil pesto until well coated. Reserve any roasting juices left in the tray for serving.

  6. FRESH & FLAVOURFUL

    Plate up the herby loaded bulgur wheat and serve the pesto-tossed wings alongside, drizzling with any pesto or roasting juices from the tray. Dollop over the pesto crème and garnish with the spring onion greens (to taste).
