Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Tip the chicken wings into a baking dish and arrange in a single layer, then pour over the hoisin sauce and add the garlic. Stir well, then bake for 35-40 mins, mixing everything together a few times during cooking, until the wings are sticky, golden and glazed.
  2. Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut in half lengthways again to make 4 long, thin strips. Use the fat of the knife and press down onto each piece and bash with the palm of your hand, to create lots of cracks and edges, then cut into chunky bite-sized pieces. Tip the ‘bashed’ cucumber into a bowl, season with a little salt, the sugar, lime juice and spring onions. Leave to marinate as the wings are cooking.
  3. Cook the rice to pack instructions. Scatter the coriander over the sticky hoisin wings and serve alongside the rice and bashed cucumber salad.
