Step-by-step
- When we got back home after the afternoon school run and the chicken had thoroughly defrosted I chucked the wings into a large freezer bag and then simply added all the ingredients, mixed around and let it marinade for a couple of hours.
- Meanwhile I pre heated the oven to 180 degrees and placed the chicken wings into a roasting tray and cooked for about 30 minutes.
- We had this with homemade potato wedges, but it would also go well with sticky rice and for less than £2.00 it was a fabulous dinner.
- If you don't like it too sweet, simply add less honey and if you like it spicy add some thinly sliced fresh chilli to the marinade.
