Chicken wings and maple quinoa recipe

Posted by Gary

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.

Footy food for State of Origin game two

Tonight is game two in this year’s state of origin series. On the old blog you can find many posts about state of origin and where my allegiances lie. Needless to say the photograph of me on my about page has the Queensland flag as a background. The Maroon jumper I wear in my twitter and instagram avatars says it all QUEENSLANDER!!!

On the way home tonight I stopped at Jamison Takeaway in the Jamison Plaza and bought some potato scallops and calamari rings to snack on while I cooked my dinner.

Footy food from Jamison Takeaway. Potato scallops and calamari rings. I hope Queensland defeats New South Wales tonight in the State of Origin game.

Sorry it’s a little blurry. I was so excited about eating them 🙂  

A need to do a shout out to the lovely ladies at the Jamison Takeaway. They always give me an extra potato scallop. They are the best. 

For dinner I made honey soy chicken wings. They make great footy food. Click on the image if you want to see a bigger version.
