Normally I buy Chicken Maryland pieces but this week I have gone with chicken wings. I was thinking soy honey but ended up with maple quinoa. I hope you like this quinoa recipe.
As is my want at the moment I cooked the quinoa in the baking tray to soak up the chicken juices as the chicken cooks. This quinoa recipe is so easy, it cooks itself.

- As the chicken is ready to come out of the oven prepare a fennel salad with a little bite by adding the peppers plus the zest of the lime

I love wings so I like this version using them instead of marylands 🙂
And so much easier to eat, just breaking them apart at the main joint and sucking the meat right off the bone #notaeuphemism
