Rue Mupedzi's sweet and spicy chicken wings

Method

1. Step 1

   Preheat oven to 140°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place a wire rack on the lined tray and lightly spray with olive oil spray. Cut each chicken wing in half at the joint. Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the salt and baking powder and shake until chicken is evenly coated.

2. Step 2

   Arrange the chicken mixture on the greased wire rack. Cook for 25 mins. Increase oven to 220°C and bake, turning occasionally, for a further 45 mins or until golden and cooked through.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, to make the sweet and spicy sauce, place the chilli, ginger, garlic, vinegar, orange juice, brown sugar, oil and raspberries in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 mins or until the sauce thickens and is glossy. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean large bowl.

4. Step 4

   Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and drizzle with the sweet and spicy sauce. Sprinkle with the coriander and spring onion to serve.
