4-5 large dried red chillies, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and roughly chopped
Handful toasted peanuts

2 tbsp. gochujang (Korean Chilli Paste)
2 tbsp. light soy sauce
3 tbsp. maple syrup or honey
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. rice vinegar

Method

• Slice through the joint of the chicken wings to separate the flats and drums to make them easier to fry without using excessive amounts of oil. Place in a large mixing bowl and massage ‘The Marinade’ well around all the chicken wings, taking care to use the cornflour/corn starch and baking powder at the end.

• Mix ‘The Sauce’ ingredients together in a bowl until sugar fully dissolves.

• BUILD YOUR WOK CLOCK: Starting at 12 o’clock with the bowl of marinated chicken wings, followed by the peanuts, garlic, chopped dried chillies and lastly ‘The Sauce’.
