Steps

30 minutes

1

To make a marinade:
Put all the ingredients except the chicken wings in a large bowl and mix throughly. Add the wings and massage the marinade into them with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
2

Honey lemon sauce:
Put the honey and lemon juice in a saucepan over a high heat and bring to the boil.
3

Start adding the slurry slowly in a steady stream, whisking constantly as you go. Stop when you reach the consistency of golden syrup. (You may not need all of the slurry).
4

Remove the sauce from the heat and add the lemon zest.
5

When cool, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until it’s required.
6

Bring the sauce to room temperature before you coat the wings.
7

The rest:
Fill a large heavy based saucepan or deep fryer to one third full with oil and heat to 180ºC.
8

Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding and to ensure they cook evenly. Fry about 7 minutes, until golden. Remove the wings with a wire scoop and put in a bowl.
9

When they are all done, add enough honey lemon sauce to coat the wings evenly.
10

Serve on a large plate, garnished with sesame seeds.

For me, food isn’t just about eating; it’s about creativity, comfort, and sharing love through every bite.🇬🇧 Cookpad UK Ambassador!
