Ingredients

• 500g Organic Chicken Wings

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

• 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

• 1 tbsp oyster sauce

• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp rice vinegar or white wine vinegar

• ½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil or neutral oil

• 1–2 spring onions, finely sliced (for garnish)

• 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

• Optional: small pinch of chilli flakes or sriracha for heat

Method

1. Prepare the Marinade
   In a bowl, mix together garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, vinegar, five-spice powder and optional chilli.

2. Marinate the Chicken
   Toss the wings in the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavour.

3. Cook the Wings
   Oven Method:

   • Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

   • Line a baking tray with foil and lightly grease with oil.

   • Arrange wings in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, turn over, then roast for another 10–15 minutes, basting with remaining marinade.

   • Optional: finish under the grill for 2–3 minutes to caramelise.

   Airfryer Method:

   • Preheat airfryer to 190°C.

   • Place wings in basket in a single layer.

   • Cook for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway, then brush with extra marinade and cook 3–5 minutes more for sticky glaze.

4. Serve

   • Arrange wings on a platter and garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.

   • Pair with steamed rice, simple stir-fried vegetables, or noodles for a full Chinese takeaway-inspired meal at home.

Tips & Variations

• Spicy: Add ½ tsp of chilli paste or Sriracha to the marinade.

• Crispier Wings: Pat wings dry before marinating, then roast at slightly higher heat for last 5 minutes.

• Sweet & Sticky: Brush extra honey or hoisin sauce during the final 5 minutes of cooking.

• Quick Fakeaway: Serve with ready-made egg fried rice or stir-fried greens for a full meal in under 45 minutes.
