So lets get right into it and start with the ingredients needed:
- Ten pieces of wings (cut into flats and drumettes)
- Roasted vegetable puree (two tomatoes, two red chilli peppers, one onion and three cloves of garlic)
- One tablespoon of honey
- One tablespoon of rice wine vinegar
- One tablespoon of soy sauce
- One chicken bouillon
- One tablespoon of dry cayenne pepper
- A dash of salt
- A dash of dry thyme
- Vegetable oil
- Veggie sides (cucumber and corn)
- Sesame seeds
STEPS
Firstly, wash your wings, cut them into flats and drumettes, season your wings with salt ( or a seasoning of your choice) and deep fry them or boil them a little and then deep fry them. Add your veggies in a roast pan and drizzle a little vegetable oil on them, sprinkle some salt and black pepper, then cover with a foil and roast them in the oven for about 10 -15 minutes, like so
I roasted the veggies a little to bring out their lovely flavours. Now add the roasted veggies in a blender, add the one tablespoon of dry cayenne pepper to it and blend till it is silky smooth, like so
Heat up your wok or pan, drizzle about two tablespoons of vegetable oil and then add in the vegetable puree, let it fry for about 5 minutes while constantly stirring it. Add in the chicken bouillon and soy sauce, a dash of dry thyme, stir a little and then add in the honey, stir again and then add in the rice wine vinegar. Keep stirring till the sauce reduces by a quarter at least, taste for seasoning and then add in the deep fried chicken. Mix and make sure everything is well incorporated and then let it cook in the sauce for about 3 - 5 minutes and your wings are done!!
You can serve this with fries or any sides of your choice, I served mine with fresh cucumbers and boiled corn. And don't forget to garnish with sesame seeds when serving ;)
I really hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy!
