Tamarind Sticky Wings
These wings are sticky, sweet and sour. They are perfect served as a starter or as side dish to a curry, also they are amazing cooked on a BBQ. This sourness comes from the tamarind and lime. Tasty and more-ish.
- Serves 2-4 (depending on what course it is)
- 14 chicken wings
- 3 tbsp. tamarind paste
- 2 tbsp. light soy sauce
- 4 tbsp. runny honey
- 2 tbsp. soft brown sugar
- juice of a lime, plus another lime cut into wedges to serve
- 3″ chunk of ginger grated
- 3 cloves of garlic grated
- 3 dried chillies crumbled
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds for decoration
- Place all of the ingredients into an oven tray and whisk into a paste.
- Add the chicken and using your hands coat each wing.
- Cover with foil and pop in the fridge for a few hours, I left mine overnight.
- To cook; heat the oven to the highest temperature.
- Place the wings in the oven still covered with foil. After 15 minutes turn the heat down to 180 degrees and cook for a further 15 minutes.
- After this time the wings should be cooked and really tender.
- Remove the foil and stir the chicken through the juices. Remove the chicken and place onto a separate oven tray lined with baking paper.
- Place the chicken back into the oven, turn the heat back up to high and let it brown for 10 minutes.
- With the juices place the tray directly onto the hob and let it bubble away on a medium heat until it reduces down. you can brush the chicken with this marinade a couple of times.
- Once the chicken is cooked stir through more of the marinade, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges.
