HONEY GLAZED CHILLI WINGS
Sweet and spicy, sticky and juicy; it is going to get messy but what’s not to love about these wings. Forget the popcorn, these are the perfect ‘movie night in’ nibbles!
500g (1lb 2oz) chicken wings
8 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
4 tbsp runny honey
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
¼ cup toasted sesame seeds
From the store cupboard
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp oil
Put all of the ingredients except the toasted sesame seeds into a large bowl. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure everything is well coated. Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
Toss the chicken again in the marinade before tipping the wings and sauce on to a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings over and baste in the marinade. Cook for a further 20 minutes, flip again and baste one last time. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F), then return the tray to the oven for a final 10 minutes.
Once the marinade has achieved its sticky caramelisation, remove the wings from the oven, transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve piping hot.
