Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1.5 kg chicken wings
2 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder ((It has to be baking powder, NOT baking soda) - see further notes on baking powder below)
¾ tsp salt ((make sure it's regular table salt))
½ tsp pepper
3 tbsp chopped spring onions/scallions
1 tsp vegetable oil
pinch of salt and pepper
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger (peeled and minced)
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 tbsp honey
4 tbsp brown sugar
5 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp lemon grass paste
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 120C/250F and place a rack on a large baking tray.
Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette. Dry the wings with paper towels, then place in a large bowl and add the baking powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Note - it's important to dry the wings first so they only get a light coating. Discard any remaining coating once tossed together.
Place in a single layer on the rack, skin side up. It's fine for them to be touching. Place on the lower shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, turn the oven up to 220c (425f), rotate the tray and place on a higher shelf (higher middle) in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the wings are golden and crispy. Take out of the oven to cool slightly.
Place all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan, stir and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble for 5-10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools). Turn off the heat.
Place the wings in a large bowl and very carefully pour over the sticky sauce (be careful, it will VERY hot). Toss to combine, then serve topped with chopped spring onions.

Time 1h

Yield 6 wings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

canola oil, for frying
24 chicken wings, parts
3/4 cup plum jelly
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped red onions
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (less of you'd like less heat!)
3 -4 assorted hot peppers, minced (serranos, jalapenos, and so on)
thinly sliced carrots and cucumber (julienne)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a heavy pot to 375 degrees F.
Add half the chicken wing parts to the oil and fry them until they're golden brown and fully cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the other half of the wing parts.
Add the plum jelly to a bowl. Then stir in the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Add the brown sugar, ginger, red onions, garlic, red pepper flakes and hot peppers. Stir to combine, and then pour it into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat.
Place the wings in an ovenproof dish and pour the sauce over the top, reserving some sauce for serving. Toss to coat, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Place the wings in dishes, and then spoon extra sauce over the top. Serve with cool vegetables to go with that delicious heat.
