CHICKEN WING POCKETS WITH TASTY RISONI FILLING METHOD:
Holding the large end of the third joint of the chicken wing, trim around the bone with a knife. Cut, scrape, and push the meat down to the second joint, without cutting skin. Twist bone and remove; discard bone.
In a large saucepan of boiling water, place the pasta, uncovered, and bring it to a boil until just tender; drain.
Combine pasta, herbs, salami, olives, peppercorns,
paste, and oil in a bowl. Spoon mixture into chicken wing cavities, and secure
openings with toothpicks.
Just before serving,
brush the wings with butter, and place them on a rack over the baking dish. When the chicken
is tender, sprinkle cheese and bake for another 10 minutes.
Makes 8.
