Creamy broccoli

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix juice and zest from the orange with oil and spices in a small bowl. Place the chicken wings in a plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Give the bag a good shake to cover the wings thoroughly. Put aside to marinate for at least 5 minutes but preferably more (for dish better taste). Place the wings in one layer in a greased baking dish. Bake on middle rack in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and thoroughly cooked. In the meantime, divide the broccoli into small florets and parboil in salted water for a couple of minutes. Strain the broccoli and add some mayonnaises (yogurt) to dress them with. Serve the broccoli with the baked wings.
