Ingredients

For the Herb Chicken Wings:

- 1 kg chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Deep Fried Fish Fillet:
- 500 grams fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

For the Rice:
- 2 cups rice (white or brown)
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings

1. Wash the Chicken Wings: Start by washing the chicken wings under cold water. Make sure they are clean!
2. Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be our tasty marinade.
3. Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and mix them well with the marinade. Make sure all the wings are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors soak in!

Step 2: Cook the Rice

1. Rinse the Rice: In a bowl, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove extra starch.
2. Boil the Water: In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
3. Cook the Rice: Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice. Stir it a little, then cover the pot with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes (for white rice) or 30-40 minutes (for brown rice) until all the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.

Step 3: Prepare the Fish Fillet

1. Set Up a Breading Station: You will need three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour and season it with salt and pepper. In the second bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
2. Bread the Fish: Take a fish fillet and dip it into the flour, making sure it’s fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat this for all the fish fillets.

Step 4: Fry the Fish Fillet

1. Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, pour enough oil to cover the bottom (about 1 inch deep). Heat the oil over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of bread into it. If it sizzles, it’s ready!
2. Fry the Fish: Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them gently.
3. Drain the Fish: Once cooked, remove the fish fillets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.

Step 5: Cook the Chicken Wings

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Bake the Wings: Place the marinated chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy!
3. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a pop of color.

Step 6: Serve Your Meal

1. Plate the Rice: Fluff the rice with a fork and place a scoop on each plate.
2. Add the Chicken Wings: Place a few herb chicken wings next to the rice.
3. Add the Fish Fillet: Finally, add a crispy fish fillet to the plate.
4. Enjoy: Your delicious meal is ready! Sit down with your family or friends and enjoy the tasty herb chicken wings, crispy fish fillet, and fluffy rice. Don’t forget to share how you made it!

Cooking Tips

1. Marinating Time: If you have more time, marinate the chicken wings for a few hours or even overnight in the fridge. This will make them even more flavorful!
2. Check Oil Temperature: When frying, make sure the oil is hot enough. If it’s too cool, the fish will absorb too much oil and become greasy. If it’s too hot, it can burn quickly. A good temperature is around 180°C (350°F).
3. Use a Thermometer: If you have a kitchen thermometer, you can check the internal temperature of the chicken wings. They should reach 75°C (165°F) to be safe to eat.
4. Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs to the chicken wings or fish fillet. You can try adding lemon zest, chili powder, or even a bit of honey for sweetness!
5. Serve with Dipping Sauces: Consider serving your meal with some tasty dipping sauces. A simple mix of ketchup and mayonnaise makes a great dip for the fish, while ranch or barbecue sauce pairs well with the chicken wings.

6. Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick meal later.
