Equipment
- Large bowl
- Small saucepan
- Sieve
- Container
- Pan
- Wire rack
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 1.25 kg chicken wings tip removed, drums and flat separated
- 2 tsp celery salt
- 2 tsp ground white pepper
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic granules
- 2 tsp salt
For the sauce
- 200 g golden caster sugar
- 100 g honey
- 2.5 lemons zest
- large piece of fresh root ginger peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 large shallots finely chopped
- 75 g butter
- black pepper to taste
Method
- In a large bowl combine the wings with the dry spices and let marinate in the fridge for at least one hour or up to four hours – keep chilled until ready to cook.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC Gas 4. In a small saucepan bring 150ml water to the boil with the sugar. Add the honey, zest of two lemons and the ginger to the syrup. Allow to reduce slightly until the syrup takes on both flavours. Sieve the syrup into a clean container.
- Soften the shallots in a small pan with the butter. Pour the syrup onto the softened shallots and mix together. Line up the wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, brush the wings with the glaze and continue to cook, applying fresh glaze every five minutes for a further 15 minutes. Reserve some glaze to serve.
- Put the wings in a bowl and toss with a little reserved glaze ensuring they are fully coated.
- Arrange in a serving dish and garnish with the remaining lemon zest and five to 10 twists of black pepper.
