Ingredients:

For the Orleans Grilled Chicken Wings:

• 6g green tea bbq seasonings
• 12 chicken wings
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for a richer flavor)

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken Wings Marinade:

• In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (optional for spice), black pepper, sea salt, lemon juice, and dried oregano.
• Stir well to combine into a smooth marinade.
• Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring that they are well-coated.
• Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Grill the Chicken Wings:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
• Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
• Place the wings on the preheated grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
• Once done, remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:

• Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water, making sure the water level is about 1 inch above the potatoes.
• Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
• Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow the potatoes to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.
• Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
• In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the cream is warm.
• Pour the cream and butter mixture into the mashed potatoes and stir until fully incorporated. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
• For a richer flavor, you can drizzle a little olive oil into the mashed potatoes and mix it in.
• For extra flavor and a pop of color, garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired.

Assemble the Dish:

• On a serving plate, arrange a generous scoop of mashed potatoes next to the Orleans Grilled Chicken Wings.
