Bring some heat to the dinner table with these crispy chicken wings. It's a crowd-pleasing dish the family will love.

 Hi everyone, it’s Tasia and Gracia here from Makan restaurant.

We are back tonight for more Coles What's for Dinner reciepe.

Tonight we’re creating a simple dish using our pantry staples, a great value family recipe. 

So tonight's dinner we're going to be creating crispy chicken wings with Tasia and Gracia's homemade sweat chill jam. So Tasia, we've got about one kilo of coles chicken wings that is enough to feed four people. 

To prepare to chicken we're going to be cutting the chicken into drumlets and winglets. 

We're going to start marinating it with some of the spices, so we’ve got the paprika, garlic powder, chicken stock powder, our pepper. Mix it in, and Tasia, your secret ingredient baking powder because that's actually what's going to make it crispy.

So you want to arrange your chicken wings on a wire rack. We're going to put it inside and oven 30 to 40 minutes, so let's make this sweet chili sauce. We're going to make a little bit more so we can store them in a jar to use for another dish. 

It just consists of chilli, red chilli and we've got garlic.

So let's blitz this up. 

Look at the colour guys.

That's spicy. So now we going to add the chopped chilli and garlic onto a small pan, and now we're going to be adding about 3 cups of vinegar, give it a stir and  now we're going to be adding about 3 cups of caster sugar.

So Tasia we're going to keep this on low heat and we're going to make sure it thickens up. It should reduce about one third to half its volume and we're just taking a peek this is about 15 minutes in.

This has been reducing for about 30 minutes and it's thicjkening up really nicely. The sauce is so beautiful, it's so versatile. We’re going to be making some salad to go with it. So two tablespoons of olive oil, we've got about maybe 3 tablespoon to 4 tablespoon of the sweet chilly jam. We're going to be adding a bit of lemon. 

Oh yeah that looks so good. So Gracia, now let’s plate up.  So now let’s plate up our chicken wings, finish the chicken off with our homemade sweet and chilli jam.

Oh my god that looks so delicious.
