Lemongrass Chicken wings

We last posted about chicken wings in October 2012. That time the chief ingredient of the marinade was a tangy tamarind and was inspired by our recent visit to Kota Kinabalu in Borneo. We still love wings and whenever roast chicken is served there is always a tussle for them. So this time Ghaz suggests lemongrass and in order to please everyone why not bake a tray full and serve them as a delicious and succulent starter?

Ingredients

1 Kg chicken wings
3 Sticks fresh lemongrass
2 cm Fresh ginger
6 - 8 Cloves garlic
2 Tbsp Light soy sauce
2 Tbsp Brown sugar
2 Fresh chillies
1 Tbsp Turmeric powder
2 Tbsp Fish sauce
Vegetable oil
Seasoning
White sesame seeds garnish


Method

Blend all the ingredients apart from the wings in a food processor. Place the wings in a large bowl and massage the marinade into them. Cover with cling film and leave for several hours or over night if possible. Heat the oven to 200 C and place the wings on a baking tray covered with tin foil for about 30 minutes. Uncover and place under the grill for about 5 - 10 minutes or so until golden brown. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with a sweet chilli dip or garlic mayo.
