- WHAT YOU WILL NEED -

  • FOR THE SUMMERY SLAW:
  • FOR THE STICKY CHICKEN WINGS:
  • 2 cups finely shredded Chinese cabbage
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1-2 large carrots, grated or finely julienned
  • 5cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 cup mange tout or sugar snap peas
  • 2 tsp Cape Herb & Spice CHINESE 5-SPICE
  • ½ cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • a handful of coriander leaves
  • 2 Tbsp runny honey
  • a handful of mint leaves
  • 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce ; 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 10 plump chicken wings
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • ½ Tbsp light sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ½ Tbsp runny honey
  • pinch of salt
  • eighth of a teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

- METHOD -

Add all the ingredients for the sticky chicken wings (except the chicken) to a small saucepan and simmer for five minutes. Allow the sauce to cool, then add a quarter of the sauce to the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Allow the wings to marinate for 20 minutes. Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread out the wings on the tray. Spoon all the remaining sauce over the chicken wings, ensuring they’re completely covered. Bake in a pre-heated 200 ˚C oven for 25-35 minutes until cooked through.

To make the summery Asian-inspired slaw, plate up all the veggies. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the veggies.
