Honey-Soy Chicken Wings

Honey, soy sauce, and lemon are a great combination. These three ingredients (with the help of some seasoning, of course) can be used to liven up some chicken wings! For this recipe, I left the chicken wings whole, but feel free to break them down into wingette, drumette, and wing tip. If you don’t have a use for the wing tip, make a nice chicken stock with them instead.

Yields 10-12 whole wings

Ingredients

• 1kg chicken wings
• 8 tsp soy sauce
• 5 tsp honey
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 tsp ground garlic
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning
• 1 1/2 tsp 5 spice
• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/ gas mark 4.
2. In bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, all-purpose seasoning, 5 spice, and chilli flakes.
3. Dip each wing into the marinade and place onto a tray. There should be around half the marinade left over; save this for later.
4. Place the lightly marinaded chicken wings into the oven for 15 minutes.
5. Take out the chicken wings and layer with with more of the marinade using a spoon or pastry brush. Flip the chicken wings, layer again, and place back into the oven for 15 minutes.
6. Repeat step 5.
7. The chicken wings should now be a glistening golden brown and ready to eat.

 Tip: If you want less work cleaning the tray, line it with 2 layers of foil before placing the wings on to cook.
