Thinking I should create something with the leftover balls of coloured fondant that were building up, I was happily "playing" with fondant when my husband Mark rang sounding like he was coming down with a cold. I thought something tasty & comforting was in order for dinner, setting aside the fondant I started to prepare a family favourite 'Chinese Chicken Wings'.

The list of ingredients might sound daunting, but these chicken wings are easy to prepare, extremely tasty & when served with stir fry veg or a vegetable rice dish become a complete meal. Also can be served as finger food, make sure you don't forget the finger bowls & the napkins!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

2 kilos (4.4lb) chicken wings (tips removed.. freeze tips to make stock at a later date)

4 tbls of peanut oil

4 tbls of light soy

4 tbls shaohsing wine (Chinese rice wine)

4 tbls tomato sauce (ketchup)

4 tbls sweet chilli sauce

2 cloves crushed garlic

2 tsps grated ginger

2 tbls honey

2 tsp salt

1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

1 tsp of five spice powder

Method

Put the chicken in large bowl or container, combine all the other ingredients, mix to coat all the wings. Cover and refrigerate for one hour (you can marinate them overnight if preferred).  

Pre heat your oven to 180c/350F  (160c/320F fan forced) lay your chicken wings out on cookies trays/baking sheets. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes and serve.
