For the coriander-and-coconut sambal:

Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. To make the Szechuan basting sauce, combine all the ingredients and mix until well incorporated.

2. Place the chicken wings on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover with the basting sauce and chill for 15 minutes.

3. While the chicken wings are marinating, make the coriander-and-coconut sambal. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until fine. Season to taste.

4. Bake the chicken wings until sticky and caramelised – there shouldn’t be any sauce left on the tray. If there is, turn the wings and bake for a bit longer. Serve with sambals.
