Method

  1. Mix the garlic, cumin, coriander, chilli powder and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl; season. Add the chicken wings, turning to coat well in the spice mix.
  2. If cooking in the oven, preheat to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Arrange the wings on a baking tray and cook for 35-40 mins, turning occasionally, until golden, crisp and cooked through. Alternatively, cook for 25 mins, then finish on the barbecue over an indirect heat for 5-10 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, put the roughly chopped spring onions and chilli, most of the coriander, the mint, lime zest and juice in a food processor. Blitz to a smooth sauce, scraping down the edges as needed. Spoon into a bowl.
  4. Scatter the finely sliced spring onions and chilli, and remaining coriander, over the wings. Serve with the chutney, and lime wedges for squeezing over.
  5. To make in an air-fryer, bake the wings in batches at 180°C for 20 mins, turning halfway.
  • Tip: Marinate the chicken up to 2 hrs ahead. The chutney will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
