Guide and Substitutes

  • Soft citrus are easy peeling fruits and are often smaller than oranges. For these wings you can use different types of soft citrus, I used naartji citrus but you can use, clementines, mandarines or tangerines.

  • Using chicken broth cuts through the sweetness of the honey and pita well with the citrus flavor. You can use concentrated broth or you can mix you stock powder with water as per instructions.

  • Other than Portuguese chicken spice, you can use ordinary chicken spice for flavor.

  • Mixed herbs can be substituted in place of Italian herbs.

COOKING AND PREPARATION

  1. Preheat oven to 200•C

  2. Wash your chicken wings and pat dry with a paper towel.

  4. Once your wings are seasoned well, place them on a backing tray of baking pan. Do not over crowd your pan, Make sure the wings spread out to ensure an even cook.

  5. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until they’re crispy and golden. Turn after 15 minutes.

  6. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in a bowl.

  7. While the wings are resting, make your sauce.

  8. In a bowl, mix the juice from your soft citrus, honey, lemon, tomato sauce, chicken broth and chutney. Taste and adjust flavors if you have to. The liquid may be a little runny but it will thicken up when frying.

  9. Pour your sauce over your wings and mix until all your wings are coated.
