Hi guys, I’m Luke Mangan and I hope you're doing really well. I’m now back in my test kitchen where I’ve been playing with lots of new recipes and I've come up with this rippa. It's my sweet chilli chicken wings with cabbage and spring onion. You’re gonna love it, it's really tasty and really simple to prepare and you know what, it feeds a family of four for under $20, so let's get into it.
First step for the amazing delicious chicken wings, preheat an oven at 200 degrees. We get baking dish, we drizzle that with a bit of olive oil on the base. We've got some flour and I'm just going to add a bit of paprika and and good pinch of salt and that is going to be our seasoning and coating for these amazing chicken wings. So just give that a good whisk and then we get these chicken wings, coat them in that flour, one by one and we just all layer them into our baking dish. Now they’re all coated, off into the oven for about 20 minutes or until they’re cooked. And now the next step is to get the cabbage base ready.
Get our cabbage in half and then very roughly slice it. So I just want to keep the bottom half of the spring onions, for the cabbage mix and then the top half is going to be for the garnish. And then we’re gonna slice these nice and thin. Throw in that cabbage and quickly sort of stir fry for about a minute, Add our spring onions and mushrooms mix that through for another minute, good pinch of salt and let it set asside and remember it's still going to cook through.
Ok, next step is the delicious sweet chilli sauce, cup of water, cup of sugar and what we want is just dissolve that sugar. I add that cup of white vinegar and bring it to boil and now i'm going to add the ginger, chilli and garlic and we give that a good mix. And we turn that heat off. So there you have it my vision of the perfect sweet chilli sauce. Alright look at these beauties nice and golden brown and crispy let's start putting this dish together. Look at that.
And there you have it, my delicious sweet chilli chicken wings that's going to feed a family of 4, for under $20. For more great value recipes please head to coles.com.au Delicious.
