Spicy Chicken wings
Ingredients
- for 2 small appetites 😀
- for marinade
- garlic 2 cloves
- ginger 30g piece
- soft brown sugar 1 tbsp
- sriracha or other chilli sauce 3 tbsp - or more to taste
- fish sauce 1 tbsp
- chicken
- 6 chicken wings
- juice of ½ lime
Method
- Peel the cloves of garlic and drop them into the bowl of a food processor. Peel and roughly chop the ginger, then add it to the garlic with half a tsp of salt and the soft brown sugar. Blitz to a coarse and dryish paste, then pour in the sriracha and fish sauce.
- Process to a moist paste, then scrape into a roasting tin, removing every bit from the processor bowl with a rubber spatula. Put the wings into the spice paste, then turn them over and over with your hands or a large spoon until they are lightly covered in the spice mixture. Set aside for a few minutes while the oven heats to 200C/gas mark 4.
- Bake the wings for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn over the wings with kitchen tongs. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Squeeze over lime juice
