Method
- Mark the pickled cucumber: mix the vinegar, sugar and¼ tsp salt in a small mixing bowl, then set aside for 3 mins to dissolve. Add the cucumber and mix well, then set aside for at least 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, mix the sriracha, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, sesame oil, soy sauce and sugar in a bowl. Add the wings and turn to coat well.
- Prepare the barbecue and wait until the flames have died down and the coals are white. Cook the wings for 25-30 mins, turning regularly and brushing with any excess marinade left in the bowl. Alternatively, preheat the grill to high. Line a large baking tray with foil, then lay the wings across it, pouring over any excess marinade. Grill for 10-12 mins each side, until slightly charred and cooked through.
- Transfer the wings to a serving plate and scatter with the sesame seeds and spring onions. Drain the pickled cucumber and serve alongside with extra sriracha, if you like.
- Tip: Prepare the chicken wings the day before and marinate in the fridge overnight. The pickled cucumber can be made up to a day in advance: cover and chill, then drain before serving.
