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!

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.
