Sweet & STICKY

ALWAYS A HOT FAVOURITE, CHICKEN WINGS DUNKED IN A SWEET AND STICKY SAUCE ARE GREAT AS A SNACK, APPETISER OR EVEN A MAIN MEAL

TIME TO MAKE: 30 MINS PREPARATION TIME: 15 MINS COOKING TIME: 15 MINS

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE STICKY HOT SAUCE: • 2 tbsp olive oil • 3 cloves garlic, crushed • ¾ cup Illovo Golden

Syrup • ¼ cup soy sauce • 1-2 tbsp hot sauce, or to taste FOR THE CHICKEN: • oil, for frying • 16 chicken wings, cleaned and dried • 1 egg, beaten • 1 tbsp water • ¼ cup cornflour • salt and pepper to season • sliced spring onion to serve

METHOD: In a small pot, heat olive oil and fry garlic until softened, about 30 seconds. Add Illovo Golden Syrup, soy sauce and hot sauce, to taste. Stir until well combined, allow to simmer for 8-10 minutes on low heat, watching it carefully. Remove from heat when sticky and glaze-like. Pour oil into a mediumsized pot until 10cm deep, and preheat over medium heat. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk 1 tbsp of water into beaten egg and pour over chicken wings, stirring to coat. In another bowl add cornflour and season with salt and pepper. Using a fork or tongs, toss chicken in cornflour until wellcoated, allowing excess egg to drip off. Fry chicken wings in hot oil in batches until golden, crispy and cooked, about 8-12 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to drain on paper towel. Dunk the crispy chicken into the sticky hot sauce, ensuring each wing is dripping with sauce. Serve the spicy, sticky chicken wings with sliced spring onion. Serves 1.
